Finally flet is deprecated, and the suggested replacement cl-flet does
lexical rather than dynamical meaning that it cannot do what I want. A
reasonable replacement is simply to overload the function
gnus-summary-extract-address-component globally, it is only used in %f
expansion. So, it might make sense to do this while insinuating gnus:
(require 'gnus-sum)
(defun gnus-summary-extract-address-component (x)
(bbdb-mua-summary-unify x))
and then using plain %f. There is also a gnus-extract-address-component
which is used much more globally, and it might make sense to tweak that
instead, but I'm a bit afraid of the unintented consequences and have
little time to test this.
What do you think?
