Subject: [PATCH] completion: complete addresses in from:/to: search terms
Date: Sat,  7 Mar 2015 14:44:42 +0200
Message-Id: <1425732282-1113-1-git-send-email-jani@nikula.org>
Precedence: list

Use the new notmuch address command to do completion for addresses in
from: and to:. Use --output=sender for both for efficiency, even
though --output=recipients would be more accurate for to: prefix
completion.

This is v2 of id:1422388098-16333-5-git-send-email-jani@nikula.org
opting for --output=sender for both to: and from:. Added a comment to
point this out.
