Certainly I cannot claim that I understood completion-cycle-threshold which seems to be unknown to my current emacs 23.2.93. More importantly, my problem is that "BBDB cycling" refers to different email addresses for one record. So in that case different "completions" might not have any common substring. So any generic completion algorithm needs to communicate to BBDB whether it wants to perform completion based on a common substring or based on cycling. I guess it's fair to say that within bbdb-complete-mail (that you can look at) the smaller part of the code tries to figure out what type of completion is requested. But the larger part then generates the appropriate completion table (where the elements need to be calculated based on the content of the database). > To tell you the truth, the infrastructure might have some missing > elements, but I'm interested in addressing those issues. bbdb-complete-mail is certainly one of the more intransparent pieces of code in BBDB. If this can be changed, I'll definitely appreciate it!
