[PATCH v5 7/7] cli: search: Add --filter-by option to configure address filtering

Thu Oct 30 16:59:33 PDT 2014


This option allows to configure the criterion for duplicate address
filtering. Without this option, all unique combinations of name and
address parts are printed. This option allows to filter the output
more, for example to only contain unique address parts.

+	Can be used with ``--output=sender`` or
+	``--output=recipients`` to filter out duplicate addresses. The
+	filtering algorithm receives a sequence of email addresses and
+	outputs the same sequence without the addresses that are
+	considered a duplicate of a previously output address. What is
+	considered a duplicate depends on how the two addresses are
+	compared and this can be controlled with the following
+	keywords:
+
+	**nameaddr** means that both name and address parts are
+	compared in case-sensitive manner. Therefore, all same looking
+	addresses strings are considered duplicate. This is the
+	default.
+
+	**name** means that only the name part is compared (in
+	case-sensitive manner). For example, the addresses "John Doe
+	<me at example.com>" and "John Doe <john at doe.name>" will be
+	considered duplicate.
+
+	**addr** means that only the address part is compared (in
+	case-sensitive manner). For example, the addresses "John Doe
+	<john at example.com>" and "Dr. John Doe <john at example.com>" will
+	be considered duplicate.
+
+	**addrfold** is like **addr**, but comparison is done in
+	canse-insensitive manner. For example, the addresses "John Doe
+	<john at example.com>" and "Dr. John Doe <JOHN at EXAMPLE.COM>" will
+	be considered duplicate.
