'Doh. That's what I get for not reading the surrounding code. I misunderstood what your patch was going for and assumed it was what *I* wanted notmuch to do, which is to show me useful counts (e.g., unread count), but not to change the underlying query. ]:--8) So, to me, it seems like this turns the all tags section into another saved searches section, just with a slight twist, and makes me wonder if there's a better way to reconcile these. > Ah, thanks.

I have to constantly remind myself that Elisp is *not* a self-respecting functional programming language, despite how much it may look like Scheme.
