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
