SUMMARY OF PROBLEM: completion does not work when name and email
address are the same and when using primary-or-name.
To reproduce this problem:
1) emacs -q --no-site-file -l ~/.emacs-debug-bbdb &
2) where ~/.emacs-debug-bbdb is
(setq bbdb-dir (expand-file-name "~/etc/Emacs/bbdb"))
(setq load-path (append (list (concat bbdb-dir "/lisp")) load-path))
(require 'bbdb)
(bbdb-initialize 'rmail 'message)
(setq mail-user-agent (quote gnus-user-agent))
(setq bbdb-completion-type (quote primary-or-name))
3) then, c-x m to start composing a new mail message
4) I have an entry in my BBDB data base that looks like this
first last - The Company
net: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
5) I type in the new mail buffer, in the "to:" field the first name
"first" and hit M-tab to complete. the completion buffer looks
like this
Click <mouse-2> on a completion to select it.
In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.
There are no possible completions of what you have typed.
6) if I type "first l" and press M-tab, completion works OK.
