Re: What possibilities there are to find email addresses and autocomplete their names in writing an email in Gnus

[gfp]

Hi,

did you get this email like that?
I am sending it via icedove/Thunderbird now.


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

(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
