@subsection Address autocompletion
|

@anchor{Address autocompletion}
|
||||
|
||||
Since @t{mu}/@t{mu4e} version 0.9.8.5, there is support for autocompleting
|
||||
addresses using @key{TAB} when composing e-mail messages. As the source for
|
||||
the addresses to complete, @t{mu4e} uses the e-mail addresses in its database
|
||||
-- addresses you sent messages to or received messages from.
|
||||
|
||||
Address auto-completion is enabled by default, using the variable
|
||||
@t{mu4e-compose-complete-addresses}.
|
||||
|
||||
You can influence how we match addresses by setting
|
||||
@t{mu4e-compose-completion-styles}. By default, that is set to
|
||||
@t{(substring)}, which means that we're matching on any substring --
|
||||
e.g. @t{amp} matches @t{foo@@example.com}. See the documentation for
|
||||
@code{completion-styles} for the alternatives.
|
||||
|
||||
Another tunable is @t{mu4e-compose-cycle-threshold}, which determines below
|
||||
which number of matches we start cycling through them using @key{TAB}. The
|
||||
default is 5
|
||||
|
||||
@subsection Limiting the number of addresses for autocompletion
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a lot of mail, especially from mailing lists and the like, there
|
||||
will be @emph{many} e-mail adresses, most of which are unlikely to be useful
|
||||
when auto-completing. For example, consider e-mail addresses in five year old
|
||||
mailing lists posts.
|
||||
|
||||
So, @t{mu4e} attempts to limit the number of e-mail addresses in the
|
||||
completion pool by filter the ones that are most likely to be relevant. The
|
||||
following variables are available to tune this:
|
||||
|
||||
@itemize
|
||||
@item @code{mu4e-compose-complete-only-personal} - when @t{t} (the default),
|
||||
only consider addresses that were seen in @emph{personal} messages -- that is,
|
||||
messages in which one of my e-mail addresses was seen in one of the address
|
||||
fields. This is to exclude mailing list posts. You can define what is
|
||||
considered 'my e-mail address' using @code{mu4e-my-email-addresses}, a list of
|
||||
e-mail address (defaults to @t{(user-mail-address)}), and when indexing from
|
||||
the command line, the @t{--my-address} parameter for @t{mu index}.
|
||||
@item @code{mu4e-compose-complete-only-after} - only consider e-mail
|
||||
addresses seen after some date. Parameter is a string, parseable by
|
||||
@code{org-parse-time-string}. This excludes very old e-mail addresses. The
|
||||
default is @t{"2010-01-01"}, i.e., only consider e-mail addresses used since
|
||||
the start of 2010.
|
||||
@item @code{mu4e-compose-complete-ignore-address-regexp} - a regular expression to
|
||||
filter out other 'junk' e-mail addresses; defaults to @t{noreply}.
