Each message is one line in the results +and the thread structure is shown using UTF-8 box drawing characters +(similar to Mutt's threaded view). It comes between search and show in +terms of amount of output and can be useful for viewing both single +threads and multiple threads.

Previously, it applied to any + message that had a maildir "info" part, which meant it could + incorrectly synchronize tags for non-maildir messages, while at the + same time failing to synchronize tags for newly received maildir + messages (typically causing new messages to not receive the "unread" + tag). + +Command-Line Interface +---------------------- + + The deprecated positional output file argument to `notmuch dump` has + been replaced with an `--output` option. The input file positional + argument to `notmuch restore` has been replaced with an `--input` + option for consistency with dump.
