+I spent a little time this morning staring at the code, and it seems
+that all of the message-ids are parsed via g_mime_decode_text, which
+deals with RFC2047 encodings and makes guesses at decoding 8bit
+characters. In practice this means that in the notmuch database all
+headers are UTF-8. Since message-id's are supposed to be printable ascii
+[at least in rfc5322], this seems like not such a terrible decision, but
+I wonder if we should document this potential conversion somewhere?
