abook does nothing if duplicate address was added (from neomutt/mutt)

[therealmaxmoon]

If I press A in neomutt, the address will be added to the address book with the command the readme page provided:

macro pager A |'abook --add-email'\n

But nothing happens if the address will not be added, because of a duplicate, if the abookrc has the following: set add_email_prevent_duplicates=true

I would like to have something like the following message, to see something in neomutt:

abook --add-email || echo "Dupliacate found! No address was added"

But it doesn't work.

Does someone has an idea how to solve this?

Thanks a lot for your help
