I have also used notmuch-search quite a bit, but there is one aspect
I dislike: it's hard to jump back to gnus from a notmuch search. I have
found a function that tries to do it (similar to the gnus links of
orgmode) but sometimes it does not work (it does not find the message),
and if there are unread messages in the target folders, it makes the
most recent one read.
