so, what do I do to ensure that the bbdb buffer pops when a message is from a known person? > So > > (bbdb-mua-auto-update-init 'gnus 'message) > > should really be the way to go for noninteractive things.

BTW, all these bbdb/<mua>-update-records-p variables (except for mhe) are initialized to lambdas calling bbdb-select-message and binding bbdb-update-records-p around them which means that they completely the global value of bbdb-update-records-p. what is going on? >> 2.

Is this a problem? wdym? I have a bunch of records with name==uid of some e-mail address. I don't like this. Is this intentional? I cannot test this because ATM I seem to be unable to create bbdb records: ":" and ";" just pop an empty *BBDB* buffer with 0/0/<bbdb size> in the command line. -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) X 11.0.11004000 http://www.PetitionOnline.com/tap12009/ http://mideasttruth.com http://openvotingconsortium.org http://jihadwatch.org http://iris.org.il Why do you never call me back after I scream that I will never talk to you again?! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
