I think you guys may have a misunderstanding about how notmuch indexes
mail.  Notmuch indexes multiple headers (To, From, Subject, Date) and
the *entire* body of the message.  That's kind of the whole point.  In
other words, messages don't have to have tags in order to be found.  For
instance, the following two search return just this message (for me):

to:notmuch subject:"how improve workflow"
from:ced@ryick.net "dirty solution"

And none of the messages in this thread are tagged for me at all (except
the first in the thread which has a "replied" tag).

So don't worry if not all of your messages are tagged.  They can all
still be found.  That's the beauty of fast search.

jamie.
