+Hi Nelson,\r
+\r
+I appreciate your desire to make notmuch work more consistently for\r
+experienced users of emacs.\r
+\r
+But this is a case where I think the emacs defaults are wrong for a new\r
+user, (I'm imagining someone getting started with notmuch and that\r
+otherwise doesn't use emacs regularly).\r
+\r
+For a user like this I think it's important for the notmuch emacs\r
+interface to not do any window-splitting by default. Without any\r
+splitting the new user is given a consistent experience, (notmuch often\r
+opens new windows and the user can clear any window by pressing "q" and\r
+seeing the previous window).\r
+\r
+But with window splitting, the user now needs to know a new command for\r
+undoing the split, (such as C-x 1) or for switching between the windows\r
+(such as C-x o).\r
+\r
+So for this particular feature, I want the default behavior to open the\r
+help window just like any other notmuch window, (even though that\r
+doesn't match what emacs typically does for help windows). Then the\r
+"experienced" emacs suers can be given a configuration option to get the\r
+desired behavior.\r
+\r
+Would you care to put together a patch to do that?\r
