+\r
+Excellent. It's great to have a long-time GNUS user here. I really\r
+wanted to poke around in GNUS for ideas, (and code), but have so far\r
+entirely failed to even _run_ in to view any email messages. I'm clearly\r
+not smart enough to be a GNUS user.\r
+\r
+But I know that if I *could* run it, I'd see lots of great stuff in\r
+it. And integrating nicely would be great. (The emacs code we have for\r
+notmuch is already integrating with the message-mode stuff from GNUS).\r

+\r

+\r
+Yes. That's a good idea. We already set From: based on how a message\r
+being replied-to was addressed, but not yet based on the new To:\r
+address.\r
+\r

+\r
+This is definitely on the feature list and is something we'll be\r
+implementing soon. In the meantime, those of us that are using notmuch\r
+in earnest are using shell scripts to load our mail like this:\r
+\r
+       notmuch new\r
+       notmuch tag +notmuch to:notmuchmail.org and not tag:notmuch\r
+        ...\r
+\r
+But just moving that configuration to the configuration file will be a\r
+lot better.\r
+\r
+> Anyways, great project and I look forward to contributing where I can.\r
+\r
+Thanks Brett,\r
+\r
+I'll look forward to any contributions from you.\r
