97 We discussed this on IRC. And, surprisingly, everyone agreed on
\r
98 changing the default to a space in a separate patch.
\r
100 But my other comment for this patch is still relevant: please rename
\r
101 `notmuch-thousands-separator' to `notmuch-hello-thousands-separator'.
\r
103 If you decide to make another patch that changes the default to a space,
\r
104 please add this link [1] to the preamble and a citation:
\r
106 Therefore the space is recommended in the SI/ISO 31-0 standard,
\r
107 and the International Bureau of Weights and Measures states that "for
\r
108 numbers with many digits the digits may be divided into groups of
\r
109 three by a thin space, in order to facilitate reading. Neither dots
\r
110 nor commas are inserted in the spaces between groups of three".
