+To be honest, we haven't had much interest in adding new content or\r
+features to the text output formats. It's just much easier to do this in\r
+a backwards compatible way in the structured output formats, for which\r
+we also have the format versioning. The emacs ui uses the sexp format\r
+for the thread summaries.\r
+\r
+That said, if someone were interested in amending notmuch search\r
+--format=text --output=summary, I don't think we'd have anything against\r
+it. I'd say a new option to specify a format string would be the way to\r
+go.\r
