There is (too) brief notice about that in

http://notmuchmail.org/emacstips/#index13h2

There is just little bit more information in notmuch archives
about that -- I did not dig deeper though.

If you're interested you could figure that out and update the

I'm, using this: id:"m2ehtm1w7p.fsf@guru.guru-group.fi" :D
