+By default, Imenu (see Info node `(emacs) Imenu') in a
+notmuch-show buffer displays all messages straight.  This is
+because the default Emacs frontend for Imenu makes it difficult
+to select an Imenu entry with spaces in front.  Other imenu

+In these cases, Imenu entries can be indented to reflect the
