Hi,

if anyone's interested, with the help of the original author I've added support
for aerc to notmuch-addrlookup-c. Basically, if you have notmuch it pulls
addresses from all your existing email, giving a unified address book across all
your accounts which is pretty neat, even if you don't actually have a notmuch
account in aerc. It also strips outer quotes so aerc doesn't escape them when it
adds its own, which was a bit annoying up to this point.

Also a minor note, as I'm always comparing this to my previous setup: it feels
as good as gmail's, it's much better than online outlook and if you have
multiple accounts it's better than both because of the unification.

Best,
Bence

Cool! Thanks for upstreaming support.

I wrote my own little script to do this but I guess I don't need it now
:)

Hey Bence -

All of your messages are signed but I don't have a public key, and my
gpg isn't able to find one from any of my configured keyservers, could
you send me yours? You can attach in aerc with :attach-key.

Thanks! Tim

That's because it's only available via WKD. This works for me
    `gpg --locate-keys  bence@ferdinandy.com`
with a temporary keyring (gpg 2.2.27). Does this not work for you? I _think_
the WKD should work fine considering how much I messed around with the 
setup ... :)

But anyway, I've attached it as well :)

Best,
Bence

p.s.: I'm not sure signing every email makes sense really, but hey, 
there's a setting for it and now I don't have to think whether something
needs signing or not :D

I just sign every mail that's not sent to any government service (some
even have a disclaimer that digitally signed mails will be rejected).
Everyone else just gets an attachment they are most likely going to
ignore and it doesn't approacg HTML mails in size, so why not.

Wow, I've never heard of this. Why would they reject it? Is this Germany
specific or is this all over the place?

That was pretty much my train of thought as well (size and if you don't 
know you don't care).

I think this is one of the anti-perks of living in a digitally
developping country… the only place that accepts signed and encrypted
mails are the BSI (bureau for IT security) and every state's data
protection officer.

Interesting. Encrypted emails I can understand (it needs technical 
expertise to verify and read them), but why would they care about a 
random attachment? Not that I email too much with officials anyway (we 
have basically a government authentication system which comes with 
the ability to send messages to govt places with them knowing it's you).

I've been wanting something like this so I don't have to everyone I ever
contact to my address book just to get contact completion. I use maildir
without notmuch though, so I did a bit of digging and found
maildir2addr, which does the job beautifully for my setup. Just thought
I'd share in case anyone else is in the same boat.

Can you also make it respect NOTMUCH_PROFILE environment variable? I'm
using two separate notmuch configs, and this program doesn't work with
my setup.

For example, I call notmuch like so:

   NOTMUCH_PROFILE=default notmuch search kek

But if I try the same with notmuch-addrlookup, it fails:

   NOTMUCH_PROFILE=default notmuch-addrlookup kek

Furthermore, you may want to checkout CONFIGURATION section at the
end of notmuch-config(1) and make the tool check all the places
where config file might be; it seems that right now it only looks at
~/.notmuch-config.
