I should have mentioned that I tried using NOTMUCH_DEBUG_QUERY with many
different quoting variations and kept getting the same final query:

Query((Tmail AND (XTOexample@1 PHRASE 3 XTOemail@2 PHRASE 3 XTOcom@3)))

It looks like the punctuation is being stripped; I get the same final
query for `notmuch search 'to:"example email com"'`.  Is this the
expected behavior?

I tried this as well but per notmuch-search-terms(7) it looks like regex
isn't supported for the "to" field.

Also as a side note, I don't think the quoting is necessary as per the
"searching" documentation [0], "... e-mail addresses are also treated as
phrases.".
