To me it seems the issue here is the distinction between the notmuch
CLI, and any other reader UI that uses it.  AFAICT, the CLI actually has
no need to know what "your" email address is, so I don't see why it
should be configured in the notmuch config.  Your reader on the other
hand does need to know, so it should be set there.

This is related to another current pet peeve of mine which is that
notmuch puts my email address in the Bcc: field in my response template.
I do not want to bcc myself on my responses.  Generally, I don't think
it should be the business of the CLI to set any of the header fields in
mail that I send out.

In short, the CLI should deal with indexing my mail.  It really has no
need to know who I am.

jamie.
