72 I doubt it's for consistency (see commit 824dad76), more likely it's

73 because people should use libnotmuch rather than directly hacking into

\r
86 That's what my little script does too: index emails and how many times
\r
87 they appear in the DB so that completion shows more frequently used ones
\r
88 first. The indexing is done after running "notmuch new", when running my
\r
89 auto-tagging script. I'm too lazy to maintain a "manual" addressbook

\r
102 Nice ideas, and Xapian is probably a good choice for doing that kind of
\r
105 Do you plan to use this addressbook with notmuch-address.el, or will it
\r
106 be a standalone program?
