81 My patch no longer works and I have been thinking about updating it to
\r
82 current HEAD. But before I do that, I wanted to check with you to see
\r
83 if you would prefer to use a different name for the command, here are
\r
87 2) notmuch list tags
\r
92 I also plan to add support for search-terms later so that we can
\r
93 produce tag lists for a set of messages, as you mentioned in one of
\r
94 your previous emails.
\r
96 A quick description for those who joined later: This command produces
\r
97 a list of all tags defined in the database. The emacs interface uses
\r
98 it to implement tag name completion.
