I actually *really* don't like that the space bar does this.  In fact, I
build my own notmuch-show-advance function in a notmuch-hacks.el that I
load to expressly get around this.  The only tag manipulation I want
done automatically is removal of "unread" when I visit a message.  Other
than that, I want to do all tag manipulation manually.  So I would be
thrilled is this "feature" was removed entirely, which would of course
get rid of this bug as well.

I've asked this in the past, but isn't this exactly what notmuch
"folders" are?  Is there a reason you don't just define this search as a
folder?

jamie.
