Sorry for so nonchalantly changing the subject, but speaking of
searching the archives. Since not too long ago I've been having trouble
searching using "field-specified searching", i.e., using the +subject, or
+from, and most importantly - using +message-id operator.

I have a function that allows me to find the current email thread in the 
archives
using email's message-id; basically, it calls
(notmuch-show-get-message-id); then launches https://lists.gnu.org
and tries to search with a search string like this:

  +message-id:<YRiqQ7auhgw8LW0z@protected.localdomain>

And it used to work, but at some point, it stopped working, and that's
annoying. I've been helplessly shaking my fist whenever I try to find a thread
in the archives, but other than that, I have no idea how to cope with
this.

Does anyone know what's changed, why the search doesn't work as before anymore?
