Package: abook Version: 0.5.6-1 Severity: normal Hello,
please reassign if you think that this is a mutt bug actually. abook optionally installs a setup file for mutt that sets: query_command="abook --mutt-query '%s'" It seems that mutt automagically quotes the %s argument and hence the single quotes here are harmful. You can observe this using strace. The effect of using the above setting is that if you enter Foo B in a query (assuming you have an entry for your friend Foo Bar), then mutt will respond with: abook: unrecognized arguments on command line The reason is that mutt will call in fact: abook --mutt-query ''Foo B'' If you remove the single quotes in the query_command setting, then mutt will complete the query to Foo Bar <...> as expected.
