77 Personally I would like an already known format for these. For example
\r
78 git fetches them from different places, like mutt aliases list.
\r
80 And I wonder why this is not part of notmuch core. You could then tell
\r
81 notmuch to compose a message, and specify an alias instead of a full
\r
82 address. This can be used in many ways.
\r
84 But yeah, I'm eager to get something like this :)
