Hi all,
I have the following idea for a new feature. I'd implement it myself, but I
wanted to ask the list first, whether something like this would have a chance to
go into mainline (given that it is implemented cleanly, well documented etc.)
or if people wouldn't like it at all.
I suggest to
the CLI, so
that wouldn't be directly helpful to having a new view in alot.
Do you mean, that this output=authors option is already available? Then I'm not
aware. If it is not available it's exactly what I meant. So it would look
something like:
$ notmuch search --output=authors from:Johannes
Johannes
What's the advantage to adding this to the library? Why not just
notmuch_query_search_messages, iterate over the messages and use
notmuch_message_get_header(msg, from) to accumulate the author
information, and then output that? Unless I'm overlooking something
(which is possible), there are

Johannes Doe (123 msgs)
Johannes Mueller (12 msgs)

I'd sketch the way to implement it like this:
- add notmuch_authors_t and notmuch_author_t structs
- add a notmuch_database_get_all_authors (notmuch_database_t *db)
- add the functions around that to a
