Re: Auto-complete address when sending email
Ok I've created this sh script in case anybody else is looking for what
I am:
#!/bin/bash
grep $1
~/.mutt/cache/bodies/imap\:lmatteis\@imap.bioversity.cgiar.org/INBOX/* | awk -F
\< '{print $2}' | awk 'NF != 0 {print}' | awk -F \> '{print $1}' |awk 'NF != 0
{print}'
You can modify the INBOX path part. The rest is just a bunch of awk
commands to filter out the email part and to make it as clean as
possible.
You can add this to make it work in your .muttrc
set query_command="~/.mutt/imapquery.sh '%s'"
And to use it just type ^t (Ctrl+t) when you're composing an email.
Hope this helps.
