A friend sent me a question about BBDB and emacs-19 which has me
puzzled:

  How do you stop the BBDB buffer from appearing while reading mail,
  especially when I already have another frame with bbdb in it serving
  that function?

One obvious solution is to unset the "bbdb-use-pop-up" variable.  This
means that the BBDB buffer in the separate frame does not get updated.
I have tried to "fix" this by adding the optional "t" argument to all
calls to "get-buffer-window" in the BBDB elisp (probably making it
incompatible with emacs-18).  This should cause it to look in other
frames for a BBDB window, rather than just the current frame.

This seems to 1/2 fix the problem.  I no longer get a neatly sized
BBDB pop-up.  Rather, the RMAIL buffer splits in half and I get a BBDB
buffer which takes up 1/2 of the current frame.  I can't find why this
buffer is being displayed.  I have spent quite a while looking for
the code which does this, but to no avail!  I think I'm missing
something simple (which is why it annoys me!).

Any ideas?

peace & happiness,
martin
