This is great, guys. I've been wanting to get something like this working for a while now. Have you guys looked at home message-mode does bbdb address completion in the To: and From: headers? It has the nice benefit of being able to tab through all full addresses for a bbdb entry. It would be nice to have this function fill in a default address, with the cursor at the end of the address, and then just tab through all the options without having to type in anything. ido is pretty cool, though, and accomplishes a similar effect. It would be nice to pull the addresses from the notmuch config, eg: notmuch config get user.primary_email notmuch config get user.other_email I would ideally like to be able to choose the From: address right before sending, as opposed to right before composing. Has anyone tried to get that working? I was not having much luck with send-hooks, since it looks like it expects the message to be complete at that point. jamie. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
