Thanks. I've pushed this. Bonus points to someone who fixes it to avoid
printing "1 matches".

It is funny that I've used emacs for all these years without learning
this.

But in general, I have been trying to keep the notmuch interface fairly
self-explanatory. I know that some people that have never used emacs at
all are giving notmuch a try, just to see what it's like. And I'd like
to help them have as positive experience as possible.

That's what I'd assumed. If we end up doing our own thing here, I'd even
have a few more things on my wishlist. I think I'd like for matching
addresses to start appearing in the minibuffer as I started typing,
(even before hitting TAB).

Of course, for that we're going to need a faster address completer,
which will mean getting the actual addresses into the database. So I'll
add that to my list of the many things I want to fix in the great
database-schema-rewrite that's coming soon.
