I guess I should mention here one more thing: The MUA commands of BBDB come in "sets": - bbdb-mua-display-records, bbdb-mua-display-sender, bbdb-mua-display-recipients - bbdb-mua-annotate-sender, bbdb-mua-annotate-recipients - bbdb-mua-edit-field, bbdb-mua-edit-field-sender, bbdb-mua-edit-field-recipients bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p controls the behavior of all these commands. Among other things, this also ensures that these sets of commands behave consistently the same (as compared to having separate user variables for each of these commands). On the other hand: a too sophisticated scheme for customizing these commands beyond bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p does not make sense because each of these commands has just a few lines of code. (I went through some effort to separate user commands from the nitty-gritty low-level details.) Thus it is easier to write a new command fitting specific needs than writing a sophisticated customization for some user variable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
