List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2014 09:16:35 -0000 Hi all again, I'm happily using "notmuch-addrlookup"[1] as "notmuch-address-command", in my Emacs configuration. As explained in my other message, yesterday I spent some time tweaking that configuration and tried to replace it with the new "notmuch address" introduced in version 0.19. An (almost) equivalent of "notmuch-addrlookup foo" could be "notmuch address to:foo* OR from:foo*", but it has at least one indesiderable difference: it seems considering the "CC" field, but always emits the "TO" content (i.e., assuming I have a message I sent to "john@doe.com" and CCed to "foo@bar.com", "notmuch address to:foo" emits "john@doe.com", not "foo@bar.com") so the candidates it generates are way too much. I don't know it that's done on purpose (I clearly miss the use case if so). I wonder if it would be reasonable adding a "--complete" flag to the "address" command that selects a more specific behaviour, so that "notmuch address --complete foo": a) automatically performs a partial match (i.e. it adds the '*' suffix on its own) b) searches the given text only in the related headers (hiding the difference between "incoming" and "outgoing" messages, and not considering the body at all) c) avoids the "bug"/"feature" explained above What do you think? Thank you, ciao, lele.
