I put in the NO-BREAK SPACE to avoid formatting quirks and ambiguity around the quotation marks, didn't actually avoid confusion, huh? :) I attached an example bbdb file with a few entries and a recipe to reproduce the behavior. The steps are: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- mkdir fakehome # install bbdb into "fakehome/lisp" cp .bbdb recipe.el fakehome cd fakehome HOME=$(pwd) emacs -Q -l recipe.el --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Most of the contacts offer just the mail address on as completion: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point. Possible completions are: alice....@mail.org james.sm...@mail.org Emmanuel Leblanc <manu.lebl...@mail.com> emmanuel....@uni.fr Anon Ymos <a...@ymos.com> jane....@mail.org --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Tested with GNU Emacs 24.0.91.1 and 23.3.1 -- Philipp Haselwarter
