Yes of course, it's a lot simpler, why didn't I think to it...

Ok! Two times, this had made notmuch bug for me: notmuch displayed a message like "welcome to a new
version of notmuch", and then retagged all my emails, deleting old tags.
(now, I dump my tags every day, and I avoid to use bower while notmuch is running).

I  like this  solution,  I will  use it (adding 'and not tag:mutted' at the end of my search).
When  I'm not  interessed with  a long discussion on a mailling list,  I like to  be able to 'kill'
the thread so it does not reappear with every new mail.

No, `notmuch search tag:draft` returns 0.

Yes, that would be perfect.
