SYNOPSIS
========

**notmuch** **address** [*option* ...] <*search-term*> ...

DESCRIPTION
===========

Search for messages matching the given search terms, and display the
addresses from them. Duplicate addresses are filtered out.

See **notmuch-search-terms(7)** for details of the supported syntax for
<search-terms>.

Supported options for **address** include

    ``--format=``\ (**json**\ \|\ **sexp**\ \|\ **text**\ \|\ **text0**)
        Presents the results in either JSON, S-Expressions, newline
        character separated plain-text (default), or null character
        separated plain-text (compatible with **xargs(1)** -0 option
        where available).

    ``--format-version=N``
        Use the specified structured output format version. This is
        intended for programs that invoke **notmuch(1)** internally. If
        omitted, the latest supported version will be used.

    ``--output=(sender|recipients|count)``

        Controls which information appears in the output. This option
        can be given multiple times to combine different outputs.
        When neither --output=sender nor --output=recipients is
        given, --output=sender is implied.

        **sender**
            Output all addresses from the *From* header.

            Note: Searching for **sender** should be much faster than
            searching for **recipients**, because sender addresses are
            cached directly in the database whereas other addresses
            need to be fetched from message files.

        **recipients**
            Output all addresses from the *To*, *Cc* and *Bcc*
            headers.

        **count**
            Print the count of how many times was the address
            encountered during search.

            Note: With this option, addresses are printed only after
            the whole search is finished. This may take long time.

    ``--sort=``\ (**newest-first**\ \|\ **oldest-first**)
        This option can be used to present results in either
        chronological order (**oldest-first**) or reverse chronological
        order (**newest-first**).

        By default, results will be displayed in reverse chronological
        order, (that is, the newest results will be displayed first).

        This option is not supported with --output=count.

    ``--exclude=(true|false)``
        A message is called "excluded" if it matches at least one tag in
        search.tag\_exclude that does not appear explicitly in the
        search terms. This option specifies whether to omit excluded
        messages in the search process.

        The default value, **true**, prevents excluded messages from
        matching the search terms.

        **false** allows excluded messages to match search terms and
        appear in displayed results.

EXIT STATUS
===========

This command supports the following special exit status codes

``20``
    The requested format version is too old.

``21``
    The requested format version is too new.
