+"mute" is a bit odd.  It is essentially "new messages in this thread\r
+skip the inbox".  It is a property of a thread, not a message.\r
+\r
+It has little to do with excluding messages from arbitrary searches.  In\r
+particular, muted threads should show up in normal free text searches.\r
+I don't think message exclusion is the right mechanism.\r
+\r
+The spec is: when a message arrives,\r
+  if it is "to me" unmute any thread it is part of\r
+  otherwise if it is in a muted thread, avoid tagging it "inbox"\r
+\r
+This is a little bit hard to deal with in a the notmuch model, which\r
+deals more naturally with mechanisms that tag individual messages and\r
+handles threading as a post-search message gathering step (as far as I\r
+can tell).\r
+\r
+I'm not claiming that what I've got is optimal -- it feels like a hack\r
+to me, but is the best I came up with.\r
