I've been looking into a replacement for moy-bbdb (i.e., fetching mail addresses and updating BBDB based on outgoing mail messages). I'd like to do this similar to the other MUA interfaces of BBDB.
Along that way I discovered a historic oddity of BBDB that I overlooked up to now in the new code. I thought I could post this here, in case anyone wants to comment on this: At some point in time each MUA interface of BBDB used slightly different ways of handling the suppression of uninteresting mail addresses. - the VM interface used vm-summary-uninteresting-senders - the Gnus interface used gnus-ignored-from-addresses - Rmail used user-mail-address Yet this has been disabled years ago because all these variables are let-bound to nil before they are passed to BBDB. Instead bbdb-get-address-components uses bbdb-user-mail-address-re, which applies to all MUAs in the same way. Is there any good reason to reactivate a mechanism for suprpesing uninteresting mail addresses on a per-MUA basis? If not, I want to remove the relics of this scheme completely and use only bbdb-user-mail-address-re.
