+\r
+If the option --format=message-ids is passed on the command line, only message\r
+IDs are output. A new structure show_options_t is defined to keep track of\r
+all (currently 2) command line options.\r
+---\r
+\r
+It seems a shame to parse the entire output of notmuch show to get a\r
+message id (or all of the message ids) contained in a thread. One\r
+might like a shorter command line option, but this seems to leave room\r
+for --format=json, and so on. Similarly, defining an option structure is \r
+arguably overengineering; I'm happy to rework to just pass a second boolean \r
+parameter to notmuch_show_messages. \r
