I set manually setq bbdb/mail-auto-create-p to 'prompt (the symbol), but it still didn't prompt. (I had used customize before.) I also tried 'bbdb-prompt-for-create and 'prompt-for-create but they too acted like t.
The code in funtion bbdb-update-records in bbdb-com.el doesn't appear to me to do what the documentation says, but that could be because I just have a poor understanding of lisp. If it's not operator error, let me know if you'd like me to submit a bug report. --- Vladimir ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vladimir G.
