It's just for consistency. I like the idea of dropping support for multi-message replies everywhere now, then re-adding it with new semantics later, but I don't feel very strongly about it. If people who use the CLI would prefer to have the default format left as-is for now that's OK with me. _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
