Re: ANNOUNCE: nottoomuch-addresses.pl

Hi Tomi,

I have had a quick try of setting up nottoomuch-addresses addresses.

Here are a couple of issues I have hit and I think it's still not quite
 right.

I attach the shell output from emacs below.

- firstly it appears that if the term is set to DUMB then the script
assumes it's being called from emacs and exits if there is no search
string.  This is problematic for me as I run all my stuff including the
--update command from a shell.  
- The instructions don't tell you to create the .config/nottoomuch
directory.  Perhaps you could check for it's existance and create if
required?
- Even when I got this far I had an odd result when running the script
as shown below.  First time I got a strange error.  Second run it added
900 or so addresses.  Subsiquent runs added no more addresses.  I find
this strange as I have over 180k emails.

Anyway great work.  Heading in a cool direction.  Hope this somewhat
rambling report helps.

Bart
