+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

+          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
