+It sounds like this would just as easily be accomplished with a way to\r
+search for all messages that don't have any tags.  I don't think there's\r
+a way to do that at the moment.  Carl (on #notmuch) just confirmed that\r
+this can only be accomplished by construction the search explicitly.\r
+Here's what I came up with:\r
+\r
+search=$(printf 'not (%s)\n' "$(notmuch search --output=tags '*' | xargs -I'{}' echo tag:'{}' | tr '\n' ' ' | sed 's/ $//' | sed 's/ / or /g')")\r
+notmuch search "$search"\r
+\r
+Someone can probably figure out how to simplify that a bit.  I don't\r
+think there's an easy way to save a search that's generated on the fly\r
+like that.  Some elisp magic is probably in order.\r
