With bbdb-use-pop-up set, the bbdb/mh-update-record that's called from the insinuation around mh-display-message usually works. But, if the (v.19.21) frame holding the mail folder is presently iconified, focus ends up in *BBDB* instead of in the mh folder window where it started. I can't figure out why. Anyone else have ideas? The reason I care is, I have "mailbox" (a cute little SGI one-up-manship on xbiff) notify my (always running) Emacs when mail arrives, via gnudoit. But since I started using bbdb, this chokes as outlined here. Jack Repenning M/S 1-875 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Silicon Graphics, Inc. x3-3027 Off:(415) 390-3027 Visual Magic Division Fax:(415) 390-6056
