+\r
+You can construct a list of email addresses from a list of emails, so what\r
+you want should be doable without tagging contacts, which is currently not\r
+possible directly. You just tag your messages as you like, either manually\r
+through one of the GUIs, or automatically with a script.\r

+>\r
+\r
+You can construct a list of email addresses that have sent you at least one\r
+email for each tag. This can be done with the notmuch much command-line\r
+interface and a minimal amount of scripting, for example with shell script.\r
+With this list of addresses, you can then start your mail client of choice\r
+with a new compose window already opened that contains all these addresses.\r
+I know this works with Thunderbird, many other clients should also support\r
+this.\r
+\r
+The only open question I see is what kind of interface you would like to\r
+use to select a set of tags. I am not sure what is the most convenient way\r
+for you, but this should not be hard either. Feel free to contact me off\r
+list if you have any further questions.\r
