Hi, I just realized that GMime is not robust to some broken email addresses sent by broken email clients. I received a mail, with the to field being
xxxx.yyyy <uuuu-v...@gmail.com> The email client (Exchange) had forgotten to put a "" around "xxxx.yyyy", which is necessary because `.' is a special character, and this confused GMime. This resulted in notmuch storing xxxx.yyyy as the email address, instead of using uuuu-v...@gmail.com. Because of that I had trouble finding one of my mail using a to: in the search terms. I have filed a bug report for GMime (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=545333), but I just wanted to make people using notmuch aware of this problem, because I guess that such problems might be extremely common. Maybe it would also be interesting to add a warning/assertion to check that all email adresses added to the database are correct email addresses? I.e. check that the `addr' variable in _index_address_mailbox always has a @. This check is in fact already done using the function strchr, but a bad value is explicitly ignored...
