-Emacs saved-search interface

-Here's a proposal Carl wrote (id:87einafy4u.fsf@yoom.home.cworth.org):
-
-  So what I'm imagining for the default notmuch view is something like
-  this:
+Fix to automatically wrap long headers (for RFC compliance) before
+sending. This should probably just be fixed in message-mode itself,
+(but perhaps we can have a notmuch-message-mode that layers this on
+top).

 
 

-          Welcome to notmuch.
+Stop hiding the headers so much in the thread-view mode.

 
 

-              Notmuch search: _________________________________________
+Allow opening a message in thread-view mode by clicking on either
+line.

 
 

-          Saved searches:
+Automatically open a message when navigating to it with N or P.

 
 

-              55,342      All messages
-                  22      Inbox
+Change 'a' command in thread-view mode to only archive open messages.

+Add a binding to open all closed messages.

-                  34      tag:notmuch and tag:todo
-
-          Click (or press Enter) on any search to see the results.
-          Right-click (or press Space) on any recent search to save it.
-
-  So the "saved searches" portion of the view is basically just what
-  notmuch-folder displays now. Above that there's an obvious place to
-  start a new search, (in a slightly more "web-browser-like" way than the
-  typical mini-buffer approach).
-
-  All recent searches appear in the list at the bottom automatically, and
-  there's the documented mechanism for saving a search, (giving it a name
-  and having it appear above).
