+Hi,\r
+\r
+I was wondering if it is possible to have email/name aliases of some\r
+kind when performing notmuch queries.\r
+\r
+I work in a very international environment. It is quite common for\r
+people with complicated names to go by simpler nicknames (e.g. Greek,\r
+Russian, Chinese names).\r
+\r
+Often when searching for messages from these collaborators, I realise I\r
+cannot recall their real names (or cannot spell it correctly). It would\r
+be great if notmuch had a facility to map nicknames to real names;\r
+something like what git does with .mailmap.\r
+\r
+Does something like this exist? If not, is it feasible? I think it\r
+would be a great addition.\r
+\r
+Thanks,\r
+\r
