I guess it depends what a `usual modus operandi' is. The *default* is to act like an address book, but some of us (I don't have a clue what proportion) collect *everything* obsessively. (It was my habit of doing that that led to bbdb-expire...) (cool feature of the day; `bbdb-show-duplicates'. This should be documented; it's very damn useful to those of us with large ugly bbdbs.) Random thought:, `bbdb-hashtable-size' should either be periodically recomputed as the BBDB grows (and the hashtable rebuilt), or at least computed at startup from the number of elements then in the BBDB. I'll implement patches for that if anyone cares.) -- `Let's have a round of applause for those daring young men and their flying spellcheckers.' --- Meg Worley ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/
