Hello,
I incorporated a bunch of smaller changes and bug fixes.
(Thanks to everyone who contributed to this in one or the other way!)
- Editing and display of names (full names, first-last, last-first)
can be customized, see bbdb-name-format and bbdb-read-name-format.
If bbdb-read-name-format is fullname, it is possible to edit the
first and last name individually via a prefix arg for
bbdb-read-record and bbdb-record-edit-name. -- We had discussed
here yet fancier solutions based on a separating character such as
"}" when names are edited in full. But after I had implemented the
current changes for editing names, I thought it's better to give
those a try and go from there. Could it be that the current
solution is really sufficient?
- The face for font-locking the names of a record can be customized
per record, see bbdb-name-face-alist.
- Some time ago we discussed on this list to make merging fields of
records more flexible. When I looked through this more carefully,
I realized that there existed in parallel two independent
approaches for this problem:
- merging notes based on mail messages handled by BBDB
- merging fields for merging records
So I tried to unify this. The bottom line is that merging of
fields is now always handled by bbdb-record-set-field.
- New variable bbdb-message-try-all-headers:
Several commands extract either the sender or the recipients'
addresses from a message according to `bbdb-message-headers'. If
BBDB does not find any address (for example, because an address is
excluded because of `bbdb-user-mail-address-re') but
`bbdb-message-try-all-headers' is t, then these commands will also
consider the remaining headers.
Apart from these changes, I tried to fix all bugs that were recently
reported on this list. If you reported one of them, please check
that the bug fix is included in the ChangeLog below and also check
that now the code works as expected. -- I apologize if I overlooked
anything. Please report here once more.
