Hello David,

Thank you for the investigation.

Unfortunately, it is still broken in my test case.

The purpose of `notmuch-extract-thread-patches' is to extract a whole
git-send-email(1) patch series at a time, because that is usually what
one wants to do.  There are `notmuch-extract-message-patches' and
`notmuch-show-pipe-message' for single patches.

(I note that this is a mailscripts design question, not strictly
relevant to the issue of ol-notmuch.el causing the
notmuch-show-thread-id variable to be mispopulated.  Thank you for your
engagement with mailscripts, regardless!)
