+\r
+Sure. I keep draft messages in the mail store, and tag them with\r
+'draft', and later 'deleted'. I would like the exclusions to treat\r
+draft and deleted messages as if they didn't exist in the store.\r
+\r
+% ./notmuch search --format=json --exclude=true -- thread:0000000000009598 tag:unread\r
+[{"thread": "0000000000009598",\r
+"timestamp": 1338231998,\r
+"date_relative": "Today 05:06",\r
+"matched": 1,\r
+"total": 15,\r
+"authors": "Mark Walters| Peter Wang",\r

+"tags": ["deleted", "draft", "replied", "sent", "unread"]}]\r
+\r
+Here is a thread I participated in. From this, my MUA displays "1/15",\r
+suggesting that there is 1 unread message out of a total of 15. But\r
+upon opening the thread, there are only 11 messages visible: 4 were\r
+drafts (possibly deleted) which have been excluded. To the user, it\r
+looks like some messages went missing.\r
+\r
+Therefore I would like search --output=summary --exclude=true\r
+to report the total number of non-excluded messages. It doesn't need to\r
+be via the "total" field; a new field would be fine.\r
+\r
