+Hello ! I am a brand new Notmuch user (and Mairix emigrant - looks like \r
+I am not the only one here), very impressed with how everything works \r
+right out of the box - thanks to all who made Notmuch !\r
+\r
+ From http://notmuchmail.org/news/release-0.18/ I read: "Wildcard \r
+matching (folder:foo*) is no longer supported". Too bad... It is exactly \r
+what I thought I needed to reach mail search nirvana.\r
+\r
+So nowadays, is there any other way to express "this folder and all its \r
+subfolders" ? The path: keyword does not seem useful for that with a \r
+maildir with a flat structure of dot.delimited.directories - or is there \r
+something like a dot.delimited.* wildcard ?\r
+\r
+Or am I entirely missing some vernacular usage that makes a subfolder \r
+wildcard useless ?\r
