If I do: notmuch address to:anarcat I get all the email addresses that wrote *to* anarcat. In other words, notmuch-address seems to look only at the From header to extract emails it shows the user, regardless of the query provided. For example, right after you sent that email, the first result was: David Bremner <david@tethera.net> .. because you were the last email address that sent me an email. Not sure I can work that out in a test case, but at least it should explain a bit more how that problem occurs... A. -- A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars.
