It is quite common for +people with complicated names to go by simpler nicknames (e.g. Greek, +Russian, Chinese names). + +Often when searching for messages from these collaborators, I realise I +cannot recall their real names (or cannot spell it correctly). It would +be great if notmuch had a facility to map nicknames to real names; +something like what git does with .mailmap. + +Does something like this exist? If not, is it feasible? I think it +would be a great addition. + +Thanks, + +-- +Suvayu + +Open source is the future. It sets us free.
