The code on sourceforge is very old. Unfortunately, its maintainer does not respond. Recently, I updated the code of BBDB and put it on savannah. This code has still some rough edges, but in general it should work (with a recent GNU emacs, I've been using 23.2). > - I use the following configuration: > > (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/bbdb/lisp") > > (require 'bbdb-autoloads) > (require 'bbdb) > > (bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message) Gnus code is not yet tested very much (I use VM), and I hope for feedback from gnus users.

In this case I get the same error message. (I never tested the new code under these conditions.) I'll send you another email once this problem is fixed on savannah. I am sorry for the delay.
