Really nice way to search for email

[Domingo Gómez]

Dear all,

My name is Domingo, an emacs user and a newbie to notmuch.
Previously, I used gnus for email related tasks, however at some point it
became very slow for daily use.
Reading blogs, I show a big base of users of emacs + offlineimap + notmuch.
I must tell you that, after installing it, I was impressed. Searching for
emails
is really fast and intuitive.

I am excited to learn more about it. Right now, I have some questions:

- How can I sort the messages in a thread from the newest to oldest?
- Some emails are answers to emails that I sent and contain things like: On
09/08/18 13:13, <MY NAME> wrote: Is it possible to not show it by
default? and is it possible to set a key to show it again?
- Also in a thread, using notmuch-show, is there any key to move to the
next message of the thread?

Thanks!

Best regards,
Domingo.

I would not know of a way to achieve this.

How about adding 'AND NOT "<MY NAME>"' (without the single
quotes)? Notmuch-emacs shows not-matching messages folded
or at least you can configure notmuch-emacs to do so. Show the
folded message with RETURN or all of them with ALT+RETURN.

That would be "n"?
