My one concern here is that I've sometimes had a message-id without the
id prefix and run a command like this:

    notmuch search 1309421989-22410-1-git-send-email-pieter@praet.org

And I've gotten confused when I've received no output, (didn't I receive
that mail? what happened?).

But I think this is a separate bug where the right fix is to make any
search terms with no prefix search through *all* prefixed terms
generated from email content. This would allow us to also avoid indexing
some content twice, (currently we store subject, from, and to both with
a prefix and without a prefix).
