Hi Matthieu, welcome to notmuch!

Thanks for the contribution. I'll queue this and review it soon. You'll
notice my review-and-merge pattern is very bursty, and I happen to be
between bursts at the moment.

(Of course, others can review too---I'm much more likely to merge code
if it has one or two Reviewed-By comments on the list.)

That sounds very nice! I'll steal that for command history for '|' which
I've been needing for a while.

That part I'll be doing. It's already on my TODO list and very highly
prioritized.

I've discussed previously that I plan to remove this behavior from the
function bound to space. Instead, it will require an explicit action to
archive a thread, ('a' to archive and advance to the next thread, and
'x' to archive and exit back to the search results).
