This isn't ideal as I'd prefer not to have to remember to use a query instead of "from". However, I didn't know about the predefined query feature so that's cool to see. > Xapian has a synonym facility [1], but it is not currently used by > notmuch.

I actually do something write now in my post new hook script where I get all versions of my email address (I at one time used an address based on each website) and update the value of `user.other_email`. If there was the ability to assign synonyms I might be able to do something similar. It would depend what the interface was like I suppose. For example, what if I wanted to connect "John", "John Doe", and "Doe" to "j...@example.com"? I'm guessing based on the Xapian docs that would end up being 3 different calls.
