+Hi Carl (et al),\r
+Thanks for notmuch. It's making my email setup a bit more efficient. I used to be a filter to differnt\r
+mbox kind of person, but I'm a changed man now !!\r
+\r
+Just wondered, is it possible to negate a search in notmuch for emacs?\r
+\r
+I have a bunch of stuff that is in my inbox that I don't want to see and have tried doing things like\r
+\r
+ -googlealerts-noreply\r
+ -from:googlealerts-noreply\r
+\r
+But it looks like the '-' is ignored....\r
+\r
+Is there a way of getting filtering? It looks like it's possible from the command line application (with -\r
+and + on search terms).\r
+\r
+Regards,\r
+David\r
