+I found this use of mailbox as a temporary variable confusing; despite\r
+the obvious return I thought it might have something to do with the\r
+g_list_append below. Maybe just make a block scope temporary variable?\r

+\r
+I guess this doesn't make the error handling worse; both old and new\r
+code silently ignore OOM if I understand correctly. Do you happen to\r
+understand the original choice of using ctx->format rather than that\r
+ctx->notmuch for a talloc parent? it doesn't seem to get deallocated any\r
+earlier.\r
