Doesn't that confirm Mark's explanation?  Notmuch sees multiple files
associated to the same message (identified by the message id).

Hope this helps,

Open source is the future. It sets us free.

[PATCH 0/2] Prompting for the GPG password within Emacs

[Peter Feigl]

Just in case anyone is interested, I wrote a simple pinentry-emacs
script, that uses emacsclient to ask inside emacs for the password.

Probably not secure, but I'm the only one accessing this host.

https://github.com/ecraven/pinentry-emacs

Finally things seem to work reliably :)

Greetings,

Peter

Hi Mark,

thank you for your answer, actually I only get one single message id, the
one I get without using --output=files.

notmuch search --output=messages  folder:1_Personal AND NOT tag:1_Personal 
id:f76b9be792c46795945e1486ccb2b2ab at www.kikidan.com

How about the nextmost likely cause :-)


Kind regards,

Ingo
