I mentioned in IRC that I think we can simplify things here by just
using existing message-mode faces rather than inventing new faces for
things like the subject header.

We're already depending on message-mode for composition, so it would be
nice if our presentation of messages looked the same, and very nice if
both presentation and composition could be customized in a single place.

Obviously, message-mode doesn't have anything specific for tags, so I'd
be happy to see a patch that add just the addition of special face
treatment for tags.

[notmuch] [PATCH -v3] notmuch.el: Add face support to search and show mode

[Aneesh Kumar K.V]

This add two faces, notmuch-show-subject-face and
notmuch-tag-face. The first face is used to show the subject
line in the notmuch-show-mode and the second one to show tags
in the notmuch-search-mode.

We can selectively highlight each tag by setting notmuch-tag-face-alist as below

(defface notmuch-tag-unread-face
 'class color) (background light)) (:foreground "goldenrod" :bold t))
(((class color) (background dark)) (:foreground "goldenrod" :bold t)))
  "Notmuch search mode face used to highligh tags.")

(defface notmuch-tag-inbox-face
 'class color) (background light)) (:foreground "red" :bold t))
(((class color) (background dark)) (:foreground "red" :bold t)))
  "Notmuch search mode face used to highligh tags.")

(setq notmuch-tag-face-alist '(("unread" . 'notmuch-tag-unread-face)
 ("inbox" . 'notmuch-tag-inbox-face)))
(require 'notmuch)
