I find the convenience of not having to maintain an address book to be a huge win with the use of notmuch-address, so I'm generally fine to filter through the offered addresses to find the one that I generally recognize to be the most viable. That said, an obvious improvement (as you suggest) would be to order addresses based on most recent+frequent use, so that the most recently used one shows up first. The problem I have, though, is that for some reason that I don't understand the interface can use To: address, or From: addresses, but not both. This is by far the most annoying thing to me, since in both scenarios there will end up being missing addresses that I need that I then have to go search for manually. If the interface could be configured to return most From: and To: address that would be a big improvement imho. jamie. _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-leave@notmuchmail.org
