+\r
+Yes, many versions of the reading client (for example, the version of\r
+notmuch.el that ships with the notmuch package in debian) remove the\r
+inbox tag from messages once you scroll past them or when you press\r
+the key that=E2=80=99s bound to notmuch-show-archive-thread (default is =E2=\r
+=80=9Ca=E2=80=9D).\r

+\r
+Add the tags manually to a few messages, search for them again, and be\r
+sure to not run your tagging script while looking at this problem.\r
+\r
+Michal=E2=80=99s tip, looking at a few lines of notmuch dump, is a good idea\r
+too. Notmuch dump is fast, so don=E2=80=99t be afraid (notmuch restore on t=\r
+he\r
+other hand=E2=80=A6 but even that completes fast enough.)\r
+\r
+I=E2=80=99ve often been surprised at weird tag situations then realized that\r
+it was old versions of my own scripts that had ran in the background\r
+and I=E2=80=99ve forgotten about it.\r
+\r
+Boolean algebra and set theory is tricky stuff! Good luck.\r
