+Switch the notmuch-search view to use "notmuch search --format=json"
+to fix large classes of bugs regarding poorly-escaped output and lame
+regular expressions. (The most recently found, unfixed example is the
+sender's name containing ';' which causes emacs to drop a search
+result.) This may require removing the outer array from the current
+"notmuch search --format=json" results.

+Fix notmuch-hello as follows:
+
+       1. Change the "notmuch" and message count in the welcome sentence to
+          not be buttons.
+
+       2. Put the saved searches (if any) before the search bar.
+
+       3. When `notmuch-hello' (or even `notmuch' when it gets its new name)
+          is invoked directly, move to the first button, (go to point-min and
+          then call widget-forward). That is, if the user has any saved
+          searches, then point will be on the first one. If the user has no
+          saved searches, then point will be on the search bar.
+
+       4. Fix refresh of notmuch-hello to leave point in the same logical
+          place, (the same saved-search widget at least).
+
+Change the 'a'rchive command in the thread view to only archive open
+messages.
