Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] emacs: Use text properties rather than overlays in
	`notmuch-show-mode'.
Date: Wed,  8 Feb 2012 08:02:11 +0000
Message-Id: <1328688139-3865-3-git-send-email-dme@dme.org>
In-Reply-To: <1328688139-3865-1-git-send-email-dme@dme.org>
References: <1327486729-18052-1-git-send-email-dme@dme.org>
	<1328688139-3865-1-git-send-email-dme@dme.org>
Precedence: list

Except for where invisibility is involved, replace the use of overlays
in `notmuch-show-mode' with text properties, which are more efficient
and can be merged together more effectively.
