From 7293d848269649c0801287d985a8542aab096e9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jed Brown Date: Thu, 26 Nov 2009 22:36:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] New function notmuch-search-operate-all: operate on all messages in the current query. It is often convenient to change tags on several messages at once. This function applies any number of tag whitespace-delimited tag modifications to all messages matching the current query. I have bound this to `*'.
