So I think either address-only or sender/recipient > should be a separate option. Note that you can give the notmuch address --output option multiple times to control the output. For example, ~$ notmuch address --output=sender --output=recipients id:878tdy8a2q.fsf@ligo.caltech.edu Jameson Graef Rollins <jrollins@finestructure.net> Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net> Jani Nikula <jani@nikula.org> notmuch@notmuchmail.org ~$ notmuch address --output=recipients --output=address id:878tdy8a2q.fsf@ligo.caltech.edu dkg@fifthhorseman.net jani@nikula.org notmuch@notmuchmail.org ~$ notmuch address --output=sender --output=recipients --output=address --output=count id:878tdy8a2q.fsf@ligo.caltech.edu 1 notmuch@notmuchmail.org 1 jrollins@finestructure.net 1 dkg@fifthhorseman.net 1 jani@nikula.org I prefer this to separate options. notmuch search uses separate --entire-thread, --body, and --include-html options, and I think those are getting messy.
