+Thanks a lot, this put me on the right track. I had to slightly modify\r
+your example as it returns every message in the thread (and not just\r
+the matching one). So I first test for id, and the filter the list to\r
+return only the matching message. Here is the code I wrote.\r
+\r
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp\r
+ (defun notmuch-query-get-message-filenames (msgid)\r
+ "Return the message filename where the message id matches MSGID\r
+ and `nil' if no such message is found"\r
+ (car (remove nil\r
+ (notmuch-query-map-threads\r
+ (lambda (msg) (if (equal (plist-get msg :id) msgid)\r
+ (plist-get msg :filename)\r
+ nil))\r
+ (notmuch-query-get-threads (list (concat "id:" msgid)))))=\r
+))\r
+#+end_src\r
+\r
+Thanks again,\r
