Just a thought: would it be worth including this in contrib?

Best wishes

I'm using borg, so that's not a problem for me.

The code is great and this looks like something worth using. Thank
you. I will try it.


> There may well be better tools for message-mode.


If anyone knows anything about that, I'm all ears!

Thank you

It actually looks for " for " first.

I'm not sure about the logic here. "Received: from foo.example.com"
means that foo.example.com is a sender for this message. It doesn't seem
to give reliable information about the receiver.

One option would be for you to customize the output of notmuch-reply in
Emacs. I think the package message-templ (unfortunately only in
marmalade, debian, and my git repo) provides tools that could help with
that. If you want to investigate it's at:

http://pivot.cs.unb.ca/git?p=message-templ.git;a=summary

There may well be better tools for message-mode.

I'm not sure my company would let me send you even headers of the
email. What I can tell is that my email address does not appear in the
headers (I had a look at
notmuch-reply.c/guess_from_in_received_headers()). I can't really blame
notmuch for not finding it then :-). But, the domain name of my email
address appears in many occasions:

- in the Received: field (which looks like " from: ")

- in the To: field (the mailing list is hosted under the same domain)

- in the From: field (the user who sent the email has an email in the
  same domain)

Unfortunately, there is no Received: field with a " by " matching my
domain.

Would it be possible to guess the From: field from "Received: from
"?

I think we'll need more information, ideally a sample message where
notmuch-reply (on the command line) guesses the reply address
incorrectly.

Guess 'From:' when doing notmuch reply

2017-09-18 Thread Damien Cassou
Hi,

notmuch-always-prompt-for-sender is a variable defined in
‘notmuch-mua.el’ whose documentation is

  > Always prompt for the From: address when composing or forwarding a
  > message. This is not taken into account when replying to a message,
  > because in that case the From: header is already filled in by

Unfortunately, notmuch always got the From: field wrong when replying to
a (microsoft-exchange hosted) mailing list. The result of this is that I
always answer with the incorrect email address resulting in an error
message from the mailing list a few minutes after.

Is there anything I can do to make notmuch properly guess the From:
field?
