+\r
+I think we should use gmime for this, and expect the configuration to be\r
+a comma separated list of addresses, specifically in the format that\r
+internet_address_list_parse_string() parses [2]. On the plus side, it'll\r
+handle most of the weird corner cases about (lists of) email addresses,\r
+and we can probably safely ignore the ones it doesn't handle. We already\r
+use that stuff in notmuch-show.c and notmuch-reply.c. On the minus side,\r
+using the functions is about as much fun as string manipulation\r
+generally is in C.\r
+\r
+Then there's the annoying detail that this'll change the format of the\r
+config from a semicolon separated list to a comma separated list. This\r
+means switching from using g_key_file_get_string_list() to\r
+g_key_file_get_string(). But we also need to have backward compatibility\r
+somehow. One option is to add a new config option (didn't I just frown\r
+on adding new ones?) that would replace all of user.name,\r
+user.primary_email, and user.other_email, making the first in the list\r
+the primary one. So we could check if, say, user.email is present, and\r
+use that for all of the name/primary/other configuration, falling back\r
+to the separate fields otherwise. This is also a safe option in case\r
+some other software uses the configuration options directly.\r
+\r
+Anyway, this will be slightly tedious to code, and some of the changes\r
+might be a bit controversial, so I suggest waiting until we get feedback\r
+from others first. (David, I'm looking at you!)\r

+\r
+Only match the *address* part, and when you've found a match, find the\r
+corresponding name part. Or do you need to be able to distinguish\r
+between different names with the same address?\r
+\r
+No matter what, I think the first thing should be changing just the\r
+config, and then building the rest on top afterwards.\r

+\r
