+\r
+No, why? The customizable `notmuch-address-selection-function' would be\r
+free to pass (car options) as the initial-input of `completing-read', if\r
+needed. When using `ido-completing-read', the first option is\r

+\r
+IMHO no, it's not: what it receives as `initial-input' is not what the\r
+user actually wrote, but rather just the (somewhat arbitrary) first\r
+candidate address found by `notmuch-address-command'.\r
