+Carl and others,\r
+\r
+My patch no longer works and I have been thinking about updating it to\r
+current HEAD. But before I do that, I wanted to check with you to see\r
+if you would prefer to use a different name for the command, here are\r
+some options:\r
+\r
+  1) notmuch tags\r
+  2) notmuch list tags\r
+  3) notmuch list-tag\r
+\r
+Any opinions?\r
+\r
+I also plan to add support for search-terms later so that we can\r
+produce tag lists for a set of messages, as you mentioned in one of\r
+your previous emails.\r
+\r
+A quick description for those who joined later: This command produces\r
+a list of all tags defined in the database. The emacs interface uses\r
+it to implement tag name completion.\r
