Usability of 3.02 - gnus, message

[Philipp Haselwarter]

Hi again,
thanks for fixing the issue with 'search.
But as it stands, bbdb3 is not working very well for me:

a) when I'm in the summary buffer (gnus) and hit ':',
   `bbdb-mua-display-sender' gets called, now without error, but nothing
   happens.
   I have `bbdb-update-records-p' set to the 'query lambda form, also
   tried it with 'create, no different.
   Shouldn't I get queried if I want to add the entry to the db?
   Wasn't there even a setting that allowed to get queried for every
   mail I receive?
   
b) tab-completion for mail addresses seems broken.
   In message-mode, TAB is bound to `message-tab', which ends up looking
   for `bbdb-complete-name' (cf. `message-expand-name').
   This is unbound, so no bbdb completion happens.
   I'm not familiar with previous versions of bbdb, but I guess
   `bbdb-complete-name' used to be what `bbdb-complete-mail' is now?
   I don't know about the motivation for the renaming, but the problem
   can be resolved with a simple
   
--8---cut here---start-8---
   (defalias 'bbdb-complete-name 'bbdb-complete-mail)
--8---cut here---end---8---

   As I don't know about previous usage of bbdb-complete-name, I'm not
   sure this is a sane solution (might introduce trouble elsewhere?)

(error Attempt to split minibuffer window)

[Stefan Monnier]

When I invoke M-x bbdb from my minibuffer-only frame, BBDB burps with
the above error.  The Elisp backtrace is:

  split-window(#window 8 on  *Minibuf-0* 0)
  bbdb-pop-up-buffer(t nil)
  bbdb-display-records-internal((...) multi-line nil t nil)
  bbdb-display-records((...) multi-line nil t)
  bbdb( multi-line)
  call-interactively(bbdb t nil)
  execute-extended-command(nil)
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)

This is with the CVS code from nongnu.org.

PS: BTW, I suggest the patch below to let users initialize BBDB in their
.emacs with a single `load' (i.e. without messing with load-path
themselves):
