Autocompletion in alot

Entry in the .config/alot/config (for each account):

[[account]] 
    ...
    [[[abook]]]
           type = shellcommand
           command = khard email --remove-first-line --parsable
           regexp = '^(?P<email>[^@]+@[^\t]+)\t+(?P<name>[^\t]+)'

Seems to work nicely :-))
