djcb 67261b614d * implement the :erase message from the backend to properly clean up the 
header buffer

  When we're doing a search while the results of a previous search are still
  coming in from the backend, this way we can tell the frontend that this is
  the right time to clear the buffer (previously, sometimes the results would
  be mixed).

README 

Welcome to mu!
--------------

Given the enormous amounts of e-mail many people gather and the importance of
e-mail message in our work-flows, it's essential to quickly deal with all that
mail - in particular, to instantly find that one important e-mail you need right
now.

mu[1] is a tool for dealing with e-mail messages stored in the Maildir-format. mu's
main purpose is to help you to quickly find the messages you need; in addition,
it allows you to view messages, extract attachments, create new maildirs, … See
the mu cheatsheet[2] for some examples.

Searching works by first indexing your messages into a Xapian-database, which
can then be queried using a custom query language.

Built on top of mu there are some extensions:

  * mu-for-emacs (mu4e)[3]: a full-features e-mail client that runs inside emacs
  * mu-guile[4]: bindings for the Guile/Scheme programming language

And, there is a toy GTK+-interface called 'mug' (in the 'toys/' subdir)

Mu is written in C and a bit of C++, with mu4e written in Emacs-lisp and
mu-guile in a mix of C and Scheme.

Note, mu is available in Debian/Ubuntu under the name "maildir-utils" because
they don't like short names.
