I'll spare you all the boring details, but essentially I'm having to
recreate my ~/.emacs from scratch. I checked out the most recent code
from the Savannah repository today and followed the instructions in INSTALL
and README as best I understood them. This gave me:
(require 'bbdb-loaddefs "~/.emacs.d/bbdb/lisp/bbdb-loaddefs.el")
(bbdb-initialize)
(bbdb-mua-auto-update-init)
This did not do what I wanted: automatically add or amend records in
~/.bbdb from Gnus articles. So I went back to README and found
Binding [bbdb-mua-auto-update-p] to a function is often most
helpful for noninteractive use. For example, you may want to
bind bbdb-mua-auto-update-p to the function bbdb-select-message,
see bbdb-accept-message-alist and bbdb-ignore-message-alist. If
a message is accepted by bbdb-select-message, the actual action
performed by BBDB (i.e., the return value of
bbdb-select-message) is given by bbdb-mua-update-records-p.
And in fact, C-h v says that bbdb-mua-auto-update-p is bound to
bbdb-select message. As far as I can tell, setting
(setq bbdb-mua-auto-update-p t)
has no effect, and neither does doing the same to
bbdb-mua-update-records-p. Clearly, I am misunderstanding something or
Doing It Wrong. Can somebody point me in the right direction?
