OK, I just tried using this function and I'm confused. AFAICT (or
maybe I have a stale BBDB?) it doesn't look for a special field, it
looks in the notes-field. E.g.:
(setq records
(delete
nil
(mapcar (lambda (r)
(let ((notes (bbdb-record-raw-notes r)))
(if (and notes
(assq bbdb/vm-set-auto-folder-alist-field
notes))
r
nil)))
(bbdb-records))))
At least in my database, the notes field is a simple string, and
calling assq on it causes BBDB to blow up....
My attempt to do this, admittedly redundant, did
(bbdb-record-getprop record alist-field)
instead.
Is there some reason the use of the notes field is correct instead of
using getprop? Actually, bbdb-record-raw-notes seems like a very
low-level accessor (as opposed to getprop), since it apparently roots
around in a vector....
thanks,
