When I receive a "confirmation message" from "no-re...@foo.com", I create a record and copy into its notes the url and all the relevant information about the service I just registered for. Since bbdb creates a record with first name "no-reply" and last name "", loading the file becomes very slow because bbdb pauses for a second to report that I have a dozen duplicates for "webmaster", "no-reply", "bugzilla-daemon" &c &c. I don't think it makes much sense to add first name/last name to such records. It seems that treating the e-mail names just like AKAs is better. I.e., right now a record is assumed to already have name X if X matches either bbdb-record-name or one of bbdb-record-aka.
Proposal: additionally, assume a record to already have name X if X matches one of (defun address-name (address) (if (string-match "@" address) (substring address 0 (match-beginning 0)) address)) (mapcar #'address-name (bbdb-record-mail record)) Thanks. -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) X 11.0.11103000 http://www.childpsy.net/ http://camera.org http://openvotingconsortium.org http://iris.org.il http://www.memritv.org http://pmw.org.il C combines the power of assembler with the portability of assembler. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
