+Hi everyone, I'm experimenting with notmuch-emacs.el (straight from\r
+git), and I have a few questions after a few days of testing.\r
+\r
+The search buffer packs messages in threads by default. Is there a way\r
+to have a flat list of strictly matching messages when needed?\r
+\r
+For example, for a query like "tag:unread AND date:24h..now", I'm shown\r
+all threads containing unread messages within the last day, which is\r
+perfect. But when I select a thread (with RET), I'm shown the thread\r
+from the start.\r
+\r
+I'd like to jump directly to the first unread message (and in detail, to\r
+the first message that actually matches the query!). It's really not\r
+great to have to find what message matched the query, especially for\r
+long-running threads.\r
+\r
+Another odd behavior I get as a result is that you obviously need to\r
+select the unread message explicitly to remove the unread tag. Applying\r
+tags to _individual_ messages is similarly weird, as you cannot do that\r
+from the search view (they would apply to the entire thread). Maybe I'm\r
+missing a better way here.\r
+\r
+Tree view is only marginally better in both scenarios.\r
+\r
+You can start a tree search with 'z', but is there a way to make\r
+searches from the notmuch-hello box into tree by default?\r
+\r
+Is there a way to sort the search (either tree/search) by subject or\r
+by author? Rarely useful, but it doesn't seem possible.\r
