ANNOUNCE: nottoomuch-addresses.sh 2.2

[Tomi Ollila]

Hi all

Here is a new version of nottoomuch-addresses.sh, after a while of
dogfooding...

nottoomuch-addresses.sh
=======================

*Nottoomuch-addresses.sh* is an email address completion/matching tool
to be used with `notmuch <http://notmuchmail.org>`_ mail user agents.

*Nottoomuch-addresses.sh* works by caching the email addresses from users'
email files and then doing (fgrep) matching against that cache when
requested.

The matching part is very fast.

For those who have been using version 2.1, the changes are:

# Version 2.2  2014-03-29 15:12:14 UTC
#   * In case there is both {phrase} and (comment) in an email address,
#     append comment to the phrase. This will make more duplicates to be
#     removed. Now there can be:
#       <user at host>
#       "phrase" <user at host>
#       "phrase (comment)" <user at host>
#       <user at host> (comment)
#   * In case email address is in form "someuser at somehost" <someuser at somehost>
#     i.e. the phrase is exactly the same as <address>, phrase is dropped.


I planned to do some more combining of emails, but it proved to be a bit
more challenging that I thought of. The Bar, Foo -> Foo Bar conversion
looks like an interesting thing to do next which I will investigate in 
future...

The new version is available at

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/domo141/nottoomuch/master/nottoomuch-addresses.sh

or git clone https://github.com:domo141/nottoomuch.git
and then by picking nottoomuch-addresses.sh from there.


How to install (also written in that nottoomuch-addresses.rst link above):

1) Download the program from above url on the machine you're running
   notmuch and find suitable location to it.

2) Verify it's sha1 checksum is 3855dd7b07490c0440deb7984633893b1847879d

3) chmod 755 /path/to/nottoomuch-addresses.sh

4) Run  /path/to/nottoomuch-addresses.sh --update
   When run first time this gathers email addresses from all of your mail.
   This may take a long while to complete -- depends on the amount of email
   you have. Further --updates are much faster as those just take addresses
   from new mail.

5) Test that it works: Run  /path/to/nottoomuch-addresses.sh notmuchmail

6) In case you're using emacs mua with notmuch, edit your notmuch
   configuration for emacs with the following content:

   (require 'notmuch-address)
   (setq notmuch-address-command "/path/to/nottoomuch-addresses.sh")
   (notmuch-address-message-insinuate)

7) Restart emacs notmuch mua (or eval above lines) and start composing
   new mail. When adding recipient to To: field. press <TAB> after 3
   or more characters have been added. In case you get 2 or more address
   matches, use arrow keys in minibuffer to choose desired recipient...

8) Enjoy!

/path/to/nottoomuch-addresses.sh --help  provides more detailed information.
