bbdb-gnus.el contains some code for announcing BBDB records in the summary buffer. It includes the user variables
bbdb/gnus-summary-mark-known-posters bbdb/gnus-summary-show-bbdb-names bbdb/gnus-summary-prefer-bbdb-data bbdb/gnus-summary-prefer-real-names controling what is actually displayed and when. Is anyone using this? I found that it is rather difficult to figure out how these four variables control the "announcements". I suggest to replace these four variables by two variables bbdb/gnus-summary-use-bbdb establishing a prioritized list of possibilities to consider. The elements of this list may include something like bbdb-name, bbdb-mail, msg-name, msg-mail, from Say, if the first element of this list is bbdb-name, then the announcement should first try to use the BBDB name found for the sender of the message. Then try to obey the 2nd element, etc. Does this make sense? Comments and suggestions are welcome. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
