when headers like e.g. reply-to are hidden in gnus
(with gnus-treat-hide-boring-headers set to 'head),
bbdb return a garbage mail address.
e.g. here's the start of the Gnus article buffer of an email:
--- snip ---
From: Richard Stallman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Re: my Emacs is broken
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Wed, 06 Nov 2002 23:48:56 -0500
Reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Richard> That is peculiar. If SIGIO works, then x_sync ought to
--- snip ---
with the header line 'Reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' being hidden i.e. invisible
for this email bbdb reports:
noticed "Richard That is peculiar If SIGIO works"
bbdb/gnus-update-records uses the emacs function mail-fetch-field to
obtain the to, reply-to etc. addresses.
mail-fetch-field uses re-search-forward and then
buffer-substring-no-properties to extract the addresses.
That doesn't seem to work for invisible text, but I don't know how this
is supposed to work.
I'm not sure who's the culprit but I think that both bbdb and mail-fetch-field
may be at fault here:
I think bbdb should operate on the original article and not on
the presentation buffer of the article (this would avoid the problem)
Should I report this as an emacs bug in mail-fetch-field?
