Nope. As of Emacs CVS the whole thing seems to be broken. Maybe I
should file a bug or something.
Some detail anyway: ldap returns lists of records, like
( ((mail . [EMAIL PROTECTED]) (mail . [EMAIL PROTECTED])) ((mail . [EMAIL
PROTECTED])) )
In this example, I have two ldap records, one for john and one for
carla, where the record of john contains two mail addresses. So his
record would be a candidate for duplicate handling.
Unfortunately, eudc-filter-duplicate-attributes doesn't even recognize
those duplicates and hence doesn't even come so far as to apply
eudc-duplicate-attribute-handling-method. So whatever you specify for
the latter (concat, duplicate, whatever) has no effect.
As a temporary workaround, I advised eudc-query to transform duplicate
mail addresses into individual records. So the example above would
become
( ((mail . [EMAIL PROTECTED])) ((mail . [EMAIL PROTECTED])) ((mail . [EMAIL
PROTECTED])) )
and inline expansion/select works OK again.
The advice code is something like
(let ((result ad-do-it))
(if (equal return-attributes '(mail)) ; inline query ?
; fix mail duplicate handling
(setq result
(let (z)
(mapcar
'(lambda (x)
(mapcar
'(lambda (y)
(push (list y) z)) x)) result) z)))
(setq ad-return-value result)) ; override return value
just in case anybody cares.
Regards, Bruno.
