To me it seems the issue here is the distinction between the notmuch CLI, and any other reader UI that uses it. AFAICT, the CLI actually has no need to know what "your" email address is, so I don't see why it should be configured in the notmuch config. Your reader on the other hand does need to know, so it should be set there. This is related to another current pet peeve of mine which is that notmuch puts my email address in the Bcc: field in my response template. I do not want to bcc myself on my responses. Generally, I don't think it should be the business of the CLI to set any of the header fields in mail that I send out. In short, the CLI should deal with indexing my mail. It really has no need to know who I am. jamie. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJLmlwiAAoJEO00zqvie6q8nPQP/iIfqqRyabP+6mWCFuioCNAV HB+HPfOB8NKuhsjFmickMl4kKQBQsnVqLHUmpHMJwK+Z/f7kD1xSvO1axdByeLCN knvtQyu0lynD+R4tYG050lExKIKneW/aIChFxXvDE8NOmNGIKwNcvB9Lk1TxGo9A uPslYmcpVSoTEedY4yPvkzJq8RrDCuixDXmNqTt51koaTuahGeVmINt2m6SSg3hj QZJtT8TGOVVkeNjILwhTzwbcYedy2EZBAk9Q3NWhJBrSpI/tI4HNR3dlb8e1dkPV 0GIszmbHuUIwdvWg/fbeUbwS7dSRO5SBlNmruzW/e4A/KBqk+Www8nvTB9NUmmjM LGrtrF8HFRN6j7RGZnu6uLOxdAQFe3TZ09i80bmUDYuBjwTSgVJMYNeaXDaIDcR9 bL1EFj3szd7B9oZ/WExF8hJwNS0BHeeIurYkvrcDIaRCKlcMgAeBf7tJetxzOyDy SzuI0o0ccTp1fGZFdngTGRJ1++D3wXen9/NhvVTP4YH4yL1zs0Ah49vXQlIYowyp 9iCaK7vptG4LZKThXT7B/+TTcQqm1IlLkxXiSuedC5uoKgUC7aqrNcEZ5avG8BlV opmaLsf60HR8IJsV2RTt+g5LAWrYvApy8OkjuAxmxk70jzm32m6jW01Z5VhjVpV2 JxoNmAS47k6nTH2k/wsL =j4s8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
