I don't think so. I use some elisp hooks within emacs interface for similar functionality but this wouldn't help in your case. > I've tried switching to the standard "My Name" and it then > completely fails to even detect that e-mail address as mine. This should not be too hard to implement. There are gmime functions for email address manipulations which can be used to parse email addresses from .notmuch-config and to separate names from addresses. Regards, -Michal
