63 Hm. I was looking at the result of C-h f notmuch-search-mode RET, which
\r
64 is how I'm used to looking at emacs documentation inside emacs. Having
\r
65 just checked with an 'emacs -q', it looks like the notmuch "?" buffer
\r
66 does wrap the docstring, but C-h f does not.
\r
68 I feel like the right answer here is probably to make notmuch-help do
\r
69 the right thing with manually-wrapped text, since that's the standard
\r
70 thing for emacs documentation, and what emacs' built-in documentation
\r
71 expects. I can try to come up with a patch that does that if you agree.
