Hey, Bergey. This is something that I think needs improvement as well. I've been just manually constructing the bbdb entries myself. But what I've really been meaning to get going is address auto-completion from the database, which I'm pretty sure could obviate my need for bbdb altogether: http://notmuchmail.org/emacstips/#index13h2 Getting it working seems more difficult than it should be, though, and the existing solutions seem a bit slower than they need to be [0]. So I think there's also room for improvement here. For instance, I think it would be rad if notmuch provided this functionality natively, in the CLI, or even in the library [1]. I think it's definitely doable, and it would be a nice little project. The emacs integration could be a bit smoother as well. A single config option should either turn the functionality on or off. That would be very convenient [2]. jamie. [0] id:"87r4xur3rv.fsf@plc.plecavalier.com" [1] For what it's worth, I would prefer a solution that didn't involve any caching of addresses outside of the database. [2] I also find it changes the behavior of the ido tab completion interface that I'm used to using in message mode. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJP/nH/AAoJEO00zqvie6q8wm8P/3XqMKi5XVynHq7fYeWczAkE aT4PDRPTLBMiVZuEdhgtBV/6aXMvszX+Bh8uk8VrYoEO7/AijtGNosYIBTHAS/CV XU372xctZtCAFaySeM7+B711Smqlq1K8aA+n12SOruaPckF6Q001sP/FYN4/P3OO YtuqDS0ajH06zwgq62WWUioBItWXW1tvbFvH7f0o6PoSUuQfqelRyXNkTGTTZO4z /UBtd26y6gjTaX41lsd3udYKPmTzbK7VjKFih5EeO1Mj4/9ptPrfrO5gxABr/1XH 0pBE5F/WUg4C3HZoCf+C7pZ0EaXeTmFnFDcQFTSTykEvPkKKiSPnheFire9Q8HGW r/rLih7V9Lte8VzjOqRTesxZwQyM5yqpIpqmY1NuqDemUj2kfoshGC+NdkDwEMkO sJ/+7aGWjeMP0IPFczeEbEK9s8r5eMQXiiiRKOOcx6vzY9KO+2kTzD+x2TlgrGkE KRco+tZqHXNPdOfODTDUFNFsGeW7Eh6WQVdOCqF71vcIHPz9iDh1/JkPttO1vyxh Fzk7z121MgxsBDYo9CIfA4XQjHYKes+SDOZHvfm4Udlc9OL2C5S2tnnR7wprYV4t /n88cTBItXlOC5zkmxTilQx9F4lBYc4cE+Ub7ktgx3OZLMHv/67WTP3LYCOwlbSz GjNm5o4htWIHNV76Phs0 =hgJT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
