I did a bunch of mucking with my bbdb (I know that's a terrible thing
to say and not provide details, but hold on). One of the side effects
(really of upgrading probably) is that the pop-up display in Gnus
started showing me records for the From: and To: fields. With a
little bit of direction from #emacs, I found that
bbdb/gnus-update-records was calling bbdb/gnus-get-addresses wich used
bbdb-get-addresses-headers to get the list of records to display. The
default configuration of bbdb 2.33 was to (defcustom
bbdb-getaddresses-headers (append bbdb-get-addresses-from-headers
bbdb-getaddresses-to-headers) ...). So, using customize I changed
bbdb-get-addresses-headers to be simply
bbdb-get-addresses-from-headers. This fixed my problem so that the
pop-up display on shows the record for the sender.
Is this the best way to address this? I noticed the variable
bbdb-get-only-first-address-p. Would it have been better to leave
bbdb-get-addresses-header alone and just set b-g-o-f-a-p to t instead
of nil?
Also, why is the default to show records for both from-headers and
to-headers? On my email, that's a lot of records most of the time;
particularly for internal company mail. Is there something I'm
missing?
