I'd like to stress that I find the default value nil of previous
expression badly chosen, why inhibit the users from this functionality?
(Moreover when the customisation is so difficult to find.)
I think bbdb3 is too cautious and humble from time to time for such an
important package, e. g. with the colon command (:) in a Gnus group
buffer. When there is no entry for the respective mail address the
command does just nothing! Why is it necessary to supply a prefix
argument only to be *queried* if I want to add this address to the
database? The query should be there right from the beginning and an
immediate action with a prefix argument.
Just my 2 ยข ;-) thanks for bbdb3.
Dieter
PS: It would be nice - unless bbdb3 is not in Emacs proper - that user
could find it at least in elpa.
