75 Patches 1-3 look fine +1.
\r
77 This one I am less sure about. I agree with the principle but for my use
\r
78 case it is a little annoying:
\r
80 I only use one name for all my addresses (Mark Walters), some addresses
\r
81 are mark@.. and some walters@..
\r
83 ido-completing-read is definitely less nice to use when all the addresses
\r
84 match mark and walters.
\r
86 I wonder if we could get the old behaviour in a more robust fashion. Two
\r
87 possibilities we could consider are
\r
89 1) if getting the information from the config file (when there is
\r
90 necessarily a single name) then only complete the addresses.
\r
92 2) make notmuch-identities a list of cons cells (name . email). Then
\r
93 there is no parsing and the old method could be robust.
\r
95 OTOH I can get used to the change.
