Hello

As this section was rather outdated I have updated to modern notmuch. (In
fact the lisp snippets should work back to at least 0.13)

I have added a snippet showing how to do this (and noted that is not
possible in notmuch-tree as we don't have a tag region option there).

I have left this as it is as this works in search mode, but not show
