+\r
+That's a great idea -- better than mine (just a variable which informs\r
+which tag is to be removed) .. something like:\r
+\r
+(defcustom notmuch-message-read-tag-changes '("-unread") "docstring" ...)\r
+\r
+Then one can have e.g.\r
+\r
+'() -- for no tag changes\r
+'("-inbox" "-unread" "+read") \r
+'("-postilaatikko" "-lukematon" "+luettu") -- the above in finnish.\r
