Hi,

sorry something went wrong.

I wanted to send the email in gnus,
it didn´t allow me if I don´t "fix the continuation? lines"
I had to say yes.
after that
I sent it,
and now a mess.

that´s new in gnus, I didn´t have that earlier.
Without fixing the continuation? lines it doesn´t allow me to send the mail.

1: thanks for clarification to Bob Newell

2:

I have that in my init.el file:

;;BBDB: Address list von Josep Bigorra
(add-to-list 'load-path "/gnu/store/yldh1rv4qlfqs25fgxw4d0n3rz6yiwmv-emacs-bbdb-3.2.2.4")
(require 'bbdb)
(bbdb-initialize 'message 'gnus 'sendmail)
(add-hook 'gnus-startup-hook 'bbdb-insinuate-gnus)
(setq bbdb/mail-auto-create-p t
      bbdb/news-auto-create-p t)

;;auto-complete emacs address using bbdb UI
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook
          '(lambda ()
             (flyspell-mode t)
             (local-set-key (kbd "TAB") 'bbdb-complete-name)))

;; von Bob Newell
(setq bbdb-complete-mail t)
(setq bbdb-message-all-addresses t)
(setq bbdb-completion-list t)
(setq bbdb-complete-mail-allow-cycling t)
(setq bbdb-completion-display-record nil)


3:
I added the exact package in the load-path:
but I am not sure, if that is right.
(in Guix the package looks like that)
Normally you add only the path of directories.

4.
Once I got the backtrace:
`bbdb-complete-name` is an obsolut command (as of 3.0);
use `bbdb-complete-mail` instead

I changed it here:
 (local-set-key (kbd "TAB") 'bbdb-complete-name)))

after doing it, it didn´t change.
it does not work either.

thanks for help

  here the old setup:

;;BBDB: Address list von Josep Bigorra
  Here my init.el part for BBDB:

  thanks for clarification
  I added the =?utf-8?Q?=E2=80=9Eexact_package=E2=80=9C?= into my init.el
  file
  and trying again
  I got that message:

  ;;auto-complete emacs address using bbdb UI
  (add-hook 'message-mode-hook
           '(lambda ()
              (flyspell-mode t)
              (local-set-key (kbd "TAB") 'bbdb-complete-name)))

  After changing that in Line 30:
   (local-set-key (kbd "TAB") 'bbdb-complete-name)))


  it =?utf-8?Q?didn=C2=B4t?= work either.

  in Guix System the packages installed look like that.

  (add-to-list 'load-path
  "/gnu/store/yldh1rv4qlfqs25fgxw4d0n3rz6yiwmv-emacs-bbdb-3.2.2.4")
  (require 'bbdb)
  (bbdb-initialize 'message 'gnus 'sendmail)
  (add-hook 'gnus-startup-hook 'bbdb-insinuate-gnus)
  (setq bbdb/mail-auto-create-p t
       bbdb/news-auto-create-p t)

  thanks for help

  (setq bbdb-complete-mail t)

  (setq bbdb-completion-list t)

  I am not sure if adding the exact package is right:
  (add-to-list 'load-path
  "/gnu/store/yldh1rv4qlfqs25fgxw4d0n3rz6yiwmv-emacs-bbdb-3.2.2.4")

  because normally you add only the folder
  where it is located:  /gnu/store/

My setup was meant to be in addition to yours, not instead of
it.  But I really don't know about that error message.  Maybe
you can turn on tracing on error.
