In your example, I assume that all messages refer to the name "First O' Lastname". Otherwise BBDB could not know that these messages refer to the same person. BBDB recognizes that the person "First O' Lastname" uses different email addresses in different messages if the arg UPDATE-P of commands like bbdb-mua-display-sender has the value 'update or 'query, see bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p. Also, bbdb-add-mails should be 'query. > Bbbd responds by saying the 'person' is not in the bbdb and > queries me to add it. I hit 'y'. Now bbdb responds by saying the > record is in the bbdb already. What is the exact message you get? Which function issues this message? - I do not get the behavior you describe. But instead BBDB updates the existing record. I do not know what you are doing differently. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
