If you want to have other file types to use this plugin, you may add them to the `allowlist` above.
1. By default, this plugin tries to determine if the cursor is in an email address field ('From:', 'To:', 'Cc:', 'Bcc:', in English). The matching is case-insensitive. If you use another language, that names these fields differently, you can modify this in $MYVIMRC by adding the `g:muttgoobook_address_fields` global variable. This is designed to be a Vim regular expression, replace `['from', 'to', 'b\?cc']` accordingly:

let g:muttgoobook_address_fields = '^\s*\(from\|to\|b\?cc\):\s*'
```
The above pattern is the default if this variable isn't specified.
1. Also, if your mutt aliases file is in a different path than _${HOME}/.mutt/aliases_, you can override it in $MYVIMRC with the global variable `g:mutt_aliases`:
```vim
let g:mutt_aliases = '~/.mutt/aliases'

Again, what appears above is the default if not set explicitly to something else. Any double-quotes (`"`) and backslashes (`\`) in the mutt aliases file will be removed before pasting the results of the completion to the currently edited mail file.

## How to use it
If asyncomplete is installed correctly and is working, editing
a file type of `mail` should show the popup completion menu after you've typed
the first three characters of the name or email address, as long as the cursor
is in a `From:`, `To:`, `Cc:`, or `Bcc` field. Case doesn't matter for the
name of the address field, and the cursor can be in a multi-line list of
names/email addresses.
The listing of the popup completion menu will show mutt aliases and names from
goobook that match the string entered thus far. You can further limit the
results returned in the popup completion menu by typing more characters.
Select the alias or name and press `Enter`, and the value from the alias will
be pasted (for mutt aliases), and the name and email address from Google
Contacts (goobook). Values from mutt aliases will be pasted verbatim except
backslashes (`\`) and double-quotes (`"`) will be removed. Email addresses
from goobook will appear between angle brackets (`<` and `>`).
## TODO
* possibly set up some kind of trigger to post an email address from the mutt aliases file or Google Contacts, within the body of the message.

* Maybe integrate with other CLI contact services, but the project may need to
be renamed
* Perform more testing!
