See the below queries and (lack of) results: paulmlocal@sara11006:/data$ notmuch search from:dem paulmlocal@sara11006:/data$ notmuch search from:demi paulmlocal@sara11006:/data$ notmuch search from:demiu paulmlocal@sara11006:/data$ notmuch search from:demiur paulmlocal@sara11006:/data$ notmuch search from:demiurg thread:0000000000012d53 January 18 [1/5] Demiurg HG| Paul Melis, XXXXX thread:0000000000011b82 November 14 [3/6] Demiurg HG| Paul Melis; XXXXX Only the last queries returns the mails I was looking for, while prefixes of the query don't return anything. Even stranger is that the actual from e-mail address is demiurghg@...., so why does "from:demiurg" match (which is also a prefix of the mail address), but all the other don't match? Thanks for a great tool, btw!
