Sorry, failed to mention;  I tried that, but the additional

  :link '(custom-group-link :tag "Message" message)

didn't seem all that useful compared to (or combined with)
adding `message' as parent group to `notmuch-send':

  #+begin_example
    Parent groups: Message Notmuch

    /- Notmuch Send group: Sending messages from Notmuch.--------------------\
          State: something in this group has been changed outside customize.
  #+end_example

vs.

  #+begin_example
    Parent groups: Message Notmuch

    /- Notmuch Send group: Sending messages from Notmuch.--------------------\
          State: something in this group has been changed outside customize.
          See also Message.
  #+end_example

... so I ripped it out again.  Should I add it back?


Peace
