+\r
+The "notmuch count '*'" convention is new, but the old "notmuch count"\r
+convention is still supported. I'm not sure how you got into a state\r
+where "M-x notmuch" would not run unless you used the new convention.\r
+\r
+All versions of notmuch support the old convention, so that's the one\r
+that should be used by the emacs code.\r
+\r
+I hope that helps answer the question,\r
