Oh my goodness. I just tried
http://github.com/dme/notmuch/raw/dme-play/emacs/notmuch-address.el
together with the latest version of my "addrlookup" tool (which does the
same as jkr's notmuch_addresses.py) and it just works, even in current
cworth/master.

Address completion for to: and cc: headers based on my notmuch database,
sweet! Thanks David. I only need to reverse the sort order of addrlookup
as this uses most-to-least likely (which is more intuitive than eudc's
least-to-most likely sort order).

BTW, addrlookup now first tries to find matches that I previously sent
mails to and failing that it will try to find matches for all from:
addresses that match the search.

It would be trivial to include cworth's 3rd pass (or rather the 1st one)
of checking entries with an "address book" tag first. Which would
satisfy his entry in the notmuch TODO :-). which tag would make most
sense? And if a message had such a tag, would that mean the to: or the
from: is in the address book? Carl? It's your idea :-)

Hello,

If I press <TAB> looking for an address while writing mail, 
vanilla notmuch offers me one preselected candidate. Since I use 
ivy-mode, this canididate narrows down the list of all candidates, 
forcing me to delete the initial input (C-a C-k)  before I can 
select among this list.

I currently override this behavior by setting 
notmuch-address-selection-function to my own function:

 (defun jv-notmuch--address-selection (prompt collection 
 initial-input) 
   (completing-read 
     prompt collection nil nil orig 'notmuch-address-history)) 
 (setq notmuch-address-selection-function 
 #'jv-notmuch--address-selection) 

This works as intended.

Now my question: Is this something specific to ivy-mode, and would 
it be possible to add an option which simulates the above behavior 
(basically, using the pre-set variable 'orig' instead of 
(car-options) in notmuch-address-expand-name), so that I do not 
need to insert my own function which adds no functionality?

Thanks (also for CC me via PM)

And by the way, notmuch really is great, thank you for this 
software!

Jörg
