+\r

+\r
+Yes someone else pointed this out too. Again I'm not sure how to\r
+proceed here. I had a quick look at this last week and it seemed to me\r
+the limitation comes from within the python bindings for notmuch. Do\r
+you have any ideas?\r
+\r

+\r
+That would be wonderful. To give you my background, I'm a graduate\r
+student in physics and I have to do a lot of C/C++ and python\r
+programming for my research. Contributing to FOSS projects seems like a\r
+wonderful way to learn to collaborate and clean programming (we\r
+physicists tend to be sloppy programmers :-p).\r
