** Find contacts
Contacts (names + email addresses) are cached separately, and can be
searched with =mu cfind= (after your messages have been indexed):
*** all contacts with 'john' in either name or e-mail address
#+begin_src sh
$ mu cfind john
#+end_src
=mu cfind= takes a regular expression for matching.
You can export the contact information to a number of formats for use in
e-mail clients. For examples:
*** export /all/ your contacts to the =mutt= addressbook format
#+begin_src sh

=bbdb= and =csv= (comma-separated values).

Do not confuse the '.*' regular expression in =mu extract= (and =mu cfind=
with the '*' wildcard in =mu find=.
