The "notmuch-show-" functions only work in notmuch-show-mode, i.e. when a message is being displayed. The list of messages with subject, authors, etc. are notmuch search results, that are being displayed in a notmuch-search-mode buffer. "notmuch-show-" functions only work in notmuch-show-mode, and "notmuch-search-" functions only work in notmuch-search-mode. jamie. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
