+This kind of thing is what message exclusion is invented for.\r
+\r
+I guess you have to adjust to get precisely the semantics you want where\r
+messages specifically to you are not muted.\r
+\r
+By the way, also in git master you can used saved queries instead of\r
+tag:me. So\r
+\r
+notmuch config query.me "to:matt@gmail.com or to matt@sekritaddress.net"\r
+\r
+then use e.g. "tag:muted and query:me" in your example.\r
+\r
+That again requires xapian 1.3+\r
