NOTMUCH-ADDRESS(1)
NAME
notmuch-address - output addresses from matching messages
SYNOPSIS
notmuch address [option ...] <search-term> ...
DESCRIPTION
Search for messages matching the given search terms, and display the
addresses from them. Duplicate addresses are filtered out.
See notmuch-search-terms(7) for details of the supported syntax for
<search-terms>.
Supported options for address include
--format=(json|sexp|text|text0)
Presents the results in either JSON, S-Expressions, newline
character separated plain-text (default), or null character sep‐
arated plain-text (compatible with xargs(1) -0 option where
available).
--format-version=N
Use the specified structured output format version. This is
intended for programs that invoke notmuch(1) internally. If
omitted, the latest supported version will be used.
--output=(sender|recipients|count|address)
Controls which information appears in the output. This option
can be given multiple times to combine different outputs. When
neither --output=sender nor --output=recipients is given, --out-
put=sender is implied.
sender Output all addresses from the From header.
Note: Searching for sender should be much faster than
searching for recipients, because sender addresses are
cached directly in the database whereas other addresses
need to be fetched from message files.
recipients
Output all addresses from the To, Cc and Bcc headers.
count Print the count of how many times was the address encoun‐
tered during search.
Note: With this option, addresses are printed only after
the whole search is finished. This may take long time.
address
Output only the email addresses instead of the full mail‐
boxes with names and email addresses. This option has no
effect on the JSON or S-Expression output formats.
--deduplicate=(no|mailbox|address)
Control the deduplication of results.
no Output all occurrences of addresses in the matching mes‐
sages. This is not applicable with --output=count.
mailbox
Deduplicate addresses based on the full, case sensitive
name and email address, or mailbox. This is effectively
the same as piping the --deduplicate=no output to sort |
uniq, except for the order of results. This is the
default.
address
Deduplicate addresses based on the case insensitive
address part of the mailbox. Of all the variants (with
different name or case), print the one occurring most
frequently among the matching messages. If --output=count
is specified, include all variants in the count.
--sort=(newest-first|oldest-first)
This option can be used to present results in either chronologi‐
cal order (oldest-first) or reverse chronological order (new-
est-first).
By default, results will be displayed in reverse chronological
order, (that is, the newest results will be displayed first).
However, if either --output=count or --deduplicate=address is
specified, this option is ignored and the order of the results
is unspecified.
--exclude=(true|false)
A message is called "excluded" if it matches at least one tag in
search.exclude_tags that does not appear explicitly in the
search terms. This option specifies whether to omit excluded
messages in the search process.
The default value, true, prevents excluded messages from match‐
ing the search terms.
false allows excluded messages to match search terms and appear
in displayed results.
EXIT STATUS
This command supports the following special exit status codes
20 The requested format version is too old.
21 The requested format version is too new.
