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  separated 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,
              --output=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 encountered 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  mailboxes  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 messages. 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  chronological  order  (oldest-first)  or
                 reverse chronological order (newest-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.tag_exclude 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 matching the search terms.

                 false allows excluded messages to match search terms and appear in displayed results.
