Again, I'm not a programmer, so bear with me. When I open a "folder"
after the "hello page," I see a list of mesaages with subjects, authors,
dates, etc. It seems I am unable to operate on items in this list using
functions such as the following:

(defun notmuch-show-tag-spam()
  "mark message as spam"
  (interactive)
  (notmuch-show-add-tag "spam")
  (notmuch-show-remove-tag "new"))

I get a "buffer is read only" error. However, I can operate on the
messages themselves, when I move into a message buffer. 

Hope this clarifies.

Best,

d.
