Do you mean, that this output=authors option is already available? Then I'm not aware. If it is not available it's exactly what I meant. So it would look something like: $ notmuch search --output=authors from:Johannes Johannes Kulick (1234 msgs) Johannes Doe (123 msgs) Johannes Mueller (12 msgs) ... I'd sketch the way to implement it like this: - add notmuch_authors_t and notmuch_author_t structs - add a notmuch_database_get_all_authors (notmuch_database_t *db) - add the functions around that to actually get an option for the ui - add bindings for the other languages (- implement the view in the clients) Cheers, Johannes -- uni stuttgart machine learning and robotics lab http://ipvs.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/mlr/johannes Question: What is the weird attachment on all my emails?
