+Hi Ludovic;\r
+\r
+Sorry about the slow response. It's not really your fault, but this\r
+exception is is not really correct, since there are at least two\r
+possible error conditions which get squashed into a NULL. I have\r
+proposed a series [1] which should make it possible to tell the\r
+difference, but in the mean time I wonder if it would be better to\r
+to do \r
+\r
+rb_raise (notmuch_rb_eBaseError, "unknown notmuch error")\r
+\r
+with a comment "XXX: figure out actual error".\r
+\r
+Cheers,\r
