+\r
+The reason is that I want be able to distinguish between several \r
+messages with the same id. Consider a message sent to a list. One copy \r
+is stored in your sent folder and one in another folder. You may want to \r
+investigate the Received headers the latter message. You would not be \r
+happy if, after pressing 'V', notmuch shows you the message in sent \r
+folder without any headers.\r
+\r
+The same holds for pipe command. I think that the message you pipe to \r
+some command should be exactly the same you see in your client.\r

+OK, maybe file name is not the proper name for it :-). In my abstract \r
+mail stores, I use the "file name" just as an unique identifier of the \r
+message.\r
