notmuch-addrlookup #1551

Closed atrent closed 3 years ago

atrent commented 3 years ago

This "issue" is just my way of dropping a couple of lines to support 'notmuch-addrlookup' (much faster than 'notmuch address' when just searching for email addresses). I'm referring to page https://alot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/contacts_completion.html

Use:

          command = 'notmuch-addrlookup '
          regexp = '(?P<name>.*).*<(?P<email>.+)>'

in the '[[[abook]]]' section of '[[youraccount]]'

nice. Can you just send a PR do add this to the docs? Cheers

Or you can add it to the wiki. I just started a page for this :) https://github.com/pazz/alot/wiki/Address-Book-Examples

But we could also collect a table of programs and regexes that are known to work in the official docs!

I'm not very familiar to the github web interface but I think I've created the PR, feel free to edit it of course. Otherwise I can fill the wiki page @lucc mentioned. Let me know.

Thanks. I think we can include this as is. I would not mind moving all regexps for those tools from the sphinx docs into the wiki but for now, for consistency's sake we should treat them all the same..

I did not remember the long list in the docs and only now saw the comment there asking for more. I think the best would be to keep that in the docs. If it gets to much we can turn it into a table.
