Well, it's not this bad, I only lose the rest of the display name and the true email address for the recipients where this matches. Later recipients are preserved. That's better than I thought, but definitely not good, since the same email list can have multiple display names depending on the sender's preferences, and now I have no guarantee that notmuch will have the true email address indexed. Hopefully this poor behavior is related to my exposure to Exchange and isn't contagious without willful stupidity. :) This behavior also breaks the idea that I can just copy and paste from the To: field into a search, since some terms will be missing. It looks like it would be better to stuff the entire string of the To: field directly into Xapian. GMime will give you a string output of what it figured out from the message header, but that already has terms pruned as shown below: >From the raw file: To: One Big Happy <OneBigHappy@amd.com>, dist.Happy Group <dist.HappyGroup@amd.com>, This Really Stinks <something_smelly@notfromhere.com>, This.WillPrune <wrinkled_plum@plumfarm.com>, This Will Not Prune <plump_plums@plumsrus.com> Trace output: Email address list: One Big Happy <OneBigHappy@amd.com>, dist.Happy, This Really Stinks <something_smelly@notfromhere.com>, This.WillPrune, This Will Not Prune <plump_plums@plumsrus.com> Email address: One Big Happy <OneBigHappy@amd.com> Email address: dist.Happy Email address: This Really Stinks <something_smelly@notfromhere.com> Email address: This.WillPrune Email address: This Will Not Prune <plump_plums@plumsrus.com> Any suggestions for how to fix this? Or is my mail broken irreparably? -Mark
