Hello !
I'm building a tool that combines fzf (a fuzzy finder) and notmuch to
find email more interactively.
For that, it would be great if the --format=json would return not just
the author name, but also the author email.
I run :
```
notmuch search --format=json '*' | tail -1
```
And get following output :
```
{"thread": "0000000000000b72", "timestamp": 1397639242, "date_relative": "2014-04-16", "matched": 1, "total": 1, "authors": "-a l'attention de contact-", "subject": "[SPAM] Lettre d'information", "query": ["id:SKT8635X-JCWL-FS8M-IDH7-WTK8XFCLCQ at idealcoursier.com", null], "tags": ["inbox"]}]
```
I would like to get the real email adress too :
```
{"thread": "0000000000000b72", "timestamp": 1397639242, "date_relative": "2014-04-16", "matched": 1, "total": 1, "authoremail": "contact at idealcoursier.com", "authors": "-a l'attention de contact-", "subject": "[SPAM] Lettre d'information", "query": ["id:SKT8635X-JCWL-FS8M-IDH7-WTK8XFCLCQ at idealcoursier.com", null], "tags": ["inbox"]}]
```
More generally, it would be great to have a configuration option to
specify which fields you want, like how `git log --format=` works.
What do you think ?
Best,
Edgar
