I'm using mu4e @ f37c6f0, with no special configuration for address 
autocompletion, which I presume results in this behavior:

http://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/mu4e/Address-autocompletion.html#Address-autocompletion

A few questions:

- Where does email address autocomplete information come from: the Xapian 
index?

- A few frequent correspondents have an unwanted spelling of full name [1] 
and/or email address, which results in multiple identities for the same 
person in my email history. Is there a pre-compose-hook (or could one be 
created) to rewrite email addresses in any of To: From: CC:, BCC:? For my 
purposes, a map with a few dozen bad->good entries would solve the problem 
nicely.

- If I were to modify email headers (with appropriate precautions) to 
create fewer variations of Full Name, would Xapain index pick up those 
changes to Maildir messages, and supply updated address autocompletion 
transparently for new email compose buffers?

Thanks,
Jeff

[1] Full name spelling can vary:
     - a repeat of email address as full name,
     - an unwanted formatting e.g. "Last, First", "First Last (Job Title)" 
etc.

    Reasons can vary:
    - Hosted Exchange account glitch, IT does not know how to fix
    - IT policy or automation, which can change.
    - Inconsistent mobile device and computer configuration.
