I'm afraid not. The extent of my configuration is:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(when (locate-library "notmuch-address")
(require 'notmuch-address)
(notmuch-address-setup))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I do have icomplete-mode turned on too, and a note saying "This relies
on user.primary_email, user.other_email notmuch config keys."
I see that notmuch adds an entry to message-completion-alist:
("^\\(Resent-\\)?\\(To\\|B?Cc\\|Reply-To\\|From\\|Mail-Followup-To\\|Mail-Copies-To\\):"
. notmuch-address-expand-name)
so I wonder if you are lacking that somehow?
