Jos=E9,

Thank you again! But perhaps my original question was not clear. I am tryi=
ng to find in which of my Maildir++ folders an email that has been found f=
rom a notmuch query is. I do the notmuch query using F8 which I presume co=
mes in from notmuch-mutt keybindings.

This information is no doubt there because the notmuch folder that stores =
the search results has the (Maildir++ folder) files linked to the original=
 messages in the folder. But surely, it should be possible to know where t=
his information from the notmuch search results?

Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
