I have a few questions about BBDB (version 1.50; 18-feb-94, with Emacs
19.27.1 and VM 5.72 (beta)):
1. Whenever I am reading a message by one person (with BBDB displayed, but
that may not be relevant), and I move on to the next message, if that
message is by the same person (i.e. the same BBDB entry), the vm Summary
window doesn't scroll with me (i.e. it is still pointing at the previous
message). Any idea what's up with that?
2. Is there a way to toggle the BBDB display? I have found that 'h' makes
the BBDB display go away, but how do I bring it back again, without moving
to the next message?
3. How can I tell BBDB what order to display it's fields in? On a 24x80
display, some fields that I'd like to see are out of sight, and some that I
don't care to see are in sight. It would be nice to see certain fields at
all times, without having to move to the BBDB window and move around in it
or rearrange fields (which only works with like fields anyway).
4. When I am looking at a message that is covered by my
"bbdb-ignore-some-messages-alist", it would be nice if BBDB didn't bother
to show me an empty window. Can BBDB not bother to display in that case?
5. I just started playing seriously with GNUS last night, but found that
for some reason, BBDB wasn't displaying at all. I have these lines in my
.emacs:
(autoload 'bbdb-insinuate-gnus "bbdb-gnus" "Hook BBDB into GNUS")
(autoload 'bbdb/gnus-lines-and-from "bbdb-gnus")
(setq gnus-Startup-hook 'bbdb-insinuate-gnus) ; Insidious Big Brother DB
(setq gnus-optional-headers 'bbdb/gnus-lines-and-from)
I don't think BBDB is working, though I saw Emacs load my .bbdb during the
GNUS initialization.
Any help with any of these issues would be appreciated!
Thanks,

One of my less pleasant chores when I was young was to read the Bible
from one end to the other. Reading the Bible straight through is at
least 70 percent discipline, like learning Latin. But the good parts
are, of course, simply amazing. God is an extremely uneven writer, but
when He's good, nobody can touch Him.
