+\r
+hi notmuch folks--\r
+\r
+i'd like to be able to forward several messages from a given thread (up\r
+to and including the whole thread) to someone else.  I use\r
+notmuch-emacs.\r
+\r
+I don't think it's possible to do this at the moment;\r
+notmuch-show-forward-message just forwards the message where the point\r
+is located, even if the current region covers more than one message.\r
+\r
+I'd be happy to have a notmuch-show-forward-thread or\r
+notmuch-show-forward-all-expanded-messages or\r
+notmuch-show-forward-messages-from-region capability, but my elisp-fu is\r
+weak.  I'd be happy to test if someone wanted to send me a patch though\r
+:)\r
+\r
+Background: one of the reasons that people often give for the terrible\r
+e-mail practice of top-posting-with-all-previous-messages-trailing is\r
+that they want to be able to send a message to someone else and have\r
+them be able to see the whole thread (never mind that these kind of\r
+reverse-chronological forwarded messages are difficult to read).  I'd\r
+like to be able to respond to those claims with something like\r
+"reasonable MUAs should let you easily forward all messages in a thread\r
+if you want to catch someone up."\r
+\r
+I consider notmuch-emacs a reasonable MUA :)\r
+\r
+thanks everyone for notmuch,\r
