Your experience doesn't sound fun, and something sounds broken. Have you tried using a prefix argument (C-u M-x <bbdb-insert-new-field command>), with these phone numbers? Chris PS. C-h v bbdb-north-american-phone-numbers-p RET gives: bbdb-north-american-phone-numbers-p's value is t Documentation: *Set this to nil if you want to enter phone numbers that aren't the same syntax as those in North America (that is, [[1] nnn] nnn nnnn ['x' n*]). If this is true, then some error checking is done so that you can't enter incorrect phone numbers, and all phone numbers are pretty-printed the same way. European phone numbers don't have as strict a syntax, however, so this is a harder problem for them (on which I am punting). You can have both styles of phone number in your database by providing a prefix argument to the bbdb-insert-new-field command. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/
