To clarify, `notmuch.Thread.get_authors` returns a comma separated list of the realname parts of all From-headers that occur in messages of this thread. > so it would seem more appropriate that this be done in the backend. I agree. I personally think this is a nice feature to have in all user interfaces to notmuch and therefore it makes sense to implement it once in the lib. Also because ~/.notmuch-config already contains a list of my addresses and therefore should have all information needed. Implementing this feature for alot in python is easily doable, by constructing the authors list from the messages From headers directly, comparing the address part with all known own addresses. We will do so if the response here is all too negative or nobody is brave enough to step forward and touch the lib in this respect. If I'm not mistaken, the lib extracts the authors name from the From-header of a message, which is indexed. Somewhere around line 248 in thread.cc, this string is added to a list of names. Cheers, /p
