Moreover, what I noticed now is that bbdb-auto-notes works on the current bbdb record BEFORE is has been updated to reflect the current message. E.g. if the message from John contains "Organization: FOO" and *BBDB* shows Bill, then Bill's organization is set to FOO. Also, I want *BBDB* to display automatically both the sender and all the recipients, the sender first (regardless of the alphabetical order). >> 2.

Presumably, yes, I am just trying to make sure...
