I've been wading through the manual attempting to find the right hook, but can't figure this out:
My bbdb is getting so full that sometimes when I receive an email from someone and their ID is recognized, I don't remember the context. I'd like to be prompted when entering ":" or ";" for a new field value associated with the bbdb record. It could be the notes field, but I'd prefer a new field, say something like "group", "area" or "context" (suggestions?). I use bbdb/gnus, so I'd like the default string for that value to be the last two words in the Gnus group name. The variable gnus-group-uncollapsed-levels could be used to decide how many parts of the group name to use. Here's an example -- say I'm reading a message from Ronan Waide in this group. I've already got him in my database but I want to annotate what group I usually read his letters in. So I press ";" to add a note. I'm prompted for the note field, but I make no changes. But then I'm prompted for changes to the new group field, with a default entry already there, "bbdb.user" (I read this as the Gmane newsgroup gmane.emacs.bbdb.user). Ah, that works, so I leave that unchanged and RET.
