I'm curious if this used to work before gnus-search? My understanding is
that it never should have worked: notmuch returns search results as
filenames on your local system, while dovecot wants search results
returned as its own internal message UIDs. 

If this worked before gnus-search, I would very much like to know that,
and to know *how* it worked, given that it's two systems that aren't
meant to talk to one another.

Thanks,
Eric
