Hrm.  The error was:

  error in process filter: wrong type argument: wholenump, -13

However, that's in my test emacs setup.  It works fine in my normal
emacs session.  Lets assume this is just a problem with my setup that
I'll look into.

The other problem I seem to be running into is that the
customize-variable interface definitely doesn't handle newlines very
well.  If I try to add a '\n' in the interface it gets escaped, so I end
up with:

     ("subject" . "\\n%s ")

If I add the '\n' manually in my config, notmuch-search then interprets
the string correctly and adds newlines to the search results, but then
the customize-variable interface interprets the newline and adds a
newline the string field that kind makes the interface a little weird.
Is there "proper" way to add a newline to a string value in the
customize-variable interface that I'm not aware of?

In any event, this is in no way a blocker for this patch series.  This
is all totally tangential.  The patch series is great.

jamie.
