+notmuch-emacs-mua --client used to start daemon process if it was\r
+not running -- just that no emacs mail window of any kind from\r
+that is visible to the user.\r
+\r
+When not starting emacs server in this case notmuch-emacs-mua\r
+user will get the same message as would emacsclient user\r
+have, which should be enough for such user to understand how\r
+to proceed starting emacs server in a way that it is useable\r
+for this purpose.\r
+---\r
+\r
+After trying quite a few alternatives, perhaps this is\r
+the way to close this case...\r
