You are correct about me using notmuch-emacs - totally forgot to write
that in the first mail, sorry.

The link you sent me does not work for me - even in the browser when
looking through the patches, which I think are here:
https://notmuchmail.org/pipermail/notmuch/2016/022492.html

How can I get to try out those patches?

Cheers,
Torben
