Thanks, thats another possible approach, though I would prefer the Hollywood approach: don't ask me (bbdb), I ask you. However, even if I ask bbdb to add e.g. a newsgoup poster - I never want this cryptic gmane email addresses in bbdb. That would be even better, if bbdb only acts when I press a key in the gnus summary buffer, and then only offers 'real' email-addresses as candidates, ignoring the cryptic newsgroup adresses. cheers -- Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ bbdb-info@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/
