Here is my setting: (still using 2.35 with Robert Fenks
extensions)
(require 'bbdb)
(setq bbdb-use-pop-up nil
bbdb-completion-display-record t)
(add-hook 'mail-setup-hook 'bbdb-define-all-aliases)
(add-hook 'gnus-message-setup-hook 'bbdb-define-all-aliases)
(add-hook 'wl-mail-setup-hook 'bbdb-define-all-aliases)
(setq bbdb-quiet-about-name-mismatches t)
;; that is useful since some mail clients don't deal with
;; NON ASCII chars in the same way. So Sometimes you receive
;; José sometims Jose
(setq bbdb-send-mail-style 'gnus) ;chance that
(setq bbdb-dwim-net-address-allow-redundancy t)
(autoload 'bbdb/vm-auto-add-label "bbdb-vm" "Run VM major mode on a buffer" nil)
(add-hook 'bbdb-notice-hook 'bbdb/vm-auto-add-label)
(setq bbdb-complete-name-allow-cycling t)
(bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message)
(add-hook 'gnus-startup-hook 'bbdb-insinuate-gnus)
(require 'bbdb-anniv)
(add-hook 'list-diary-entries-hook #'bbdb-include-anniversaries)
(require 'bbdb-rf)
In this setting every new mail (even spam) will add an entry
to the BBDB (I once reached 3000 entries)
that is where bbdb-expire comes in handy
(require 'bbdb-expire)
(setq bbdb-expire-this-old 7) ; all bbdb entries older than
7 days will be deleted,
The only exceptions are entries with have the following fields.
(bbdb-expire-field-foo-p 'mail-alias)
(bbdb-expire-field-foo-p 'vm-folder)
(bbdb-expire-field-foo-p 'vm-virtual)
(bbdb-expire-field-foo-p 'tel)
(bbdb-expire-field-foo-p 'news)
(bbdb-expire-field-foo-p 'signature)
(bbdb-expire-field-foo-p 'imap) ;Version:1.111
(bbdb-expire-field-foo-p 'mail-hierarchy) ;Version:1.112
(bbdb-expire-field-foo-p 'birthday)
(bbdb-expire-field-foo-p 'face)
(bbdb-expire-field-foo-p 'www)
(setq bbdb-expire-preservation-functions
'(bbdb-expire-field-permanent-p
bbdb-expire-field-mail-alias-p
bbdb-expire-field-vm-folder-p
bbdb-expire-field-vm-virtual-p
bbdb-expire-field-signature-p
bbdb-expire-field-tel-p
bbdb-expire-field-imap-p
bbdb-expire-field-mail-hierarchy-p
bbdb-expire-field-face-p
bbdb-expire-field-birthday-p
bbdb-expire-field-www-p
bbdb-expire-field-news-p
bbdb-expire-field-notes-p))
(bbdb-expire-initialize)
Another extremely useful pkg is moy-bbdb since it adds an
entry one a message is sent (and had no bbdb entry)
(require 'moy-bbdb)
(autoload 'bbdb/send-hook "moy-bbdb"
"Function to be added to `message-send-hook' to notice records when
sending messages" t)
(add-hook 'message-send-hook 'bbdb/send-hook) ; If you use Gnus
(add-hook 'mail-send-hook 'bbdb/send-hook) ; For other mailers
; (VM, Rmail)
I also use the gnus splitting method and split messages
according to their bbdb entry (I think this code is included
in the official bbdb pkg)
You can then use sigadapt which inserts signatures according
bbdb entries.
I used that code and have extension for adding gcc fields
according to the bbdb entries and set also the ispell
dictionary according to a bbdb entry called ispell-dict.
If you are interested I can send you details.
