Re: BBDB with notmuch mail client
On Thu Jun 28 2012 Daniel Reusche wrote: hello. on the homepage of the notmuch mail client (http://notmuchmail.org/emacstips/#index13h2) it was stated that it integrates well with bbdb. now the problem is, neither could i find out how to feed the addresses from the notmuch database to the bbdb initially, nor how to update the incoming addresses. i searched through the bbdb and notmuch documentation but i could find nothing helpful. also on #notmuch nobody knew how its done. if somebody could point me to helpful resources, i could publish my setup as an example if i get it to work. It's not quite clear to me how the emacs-based frontend for notmuch works. If it is based on some other emacs mail user agents (rmail, gnus, message mode, etc.), then notmuch should work with the BBDB interface of these MUAs. Otherwise, it will be necessary to add such an interface (assuming you want to use BBDB 3).

Re: Fancy splitting with BBDB 3
On Thu Jun 28 2012 Sebastien Vauban wrote: With BBDB 3, I've lost the following feature: For records which have `gnus-public' set, the fancy splitting does not work anymore like it did. What is `gnus-public' supposed to do? I realized a little while ago that bbdb-gnus.el refers to gnus-public, but I could not find any reference to gnus-public in Gnus itself. Is this some (very) old Gnus feature that disappeared in more recent versions of Gnus, or am I missing something else? (Which version of Guns are you using with which version of emacs?) I thought about removing the relevant pieces of code in bbdb-gnus.el that have a `FIXME' tag.

Why V3 (Was: Re: Fwd: BBDB development shifted from sourceforge to savannah)
On Thu Jun 21 2012 Sriram Karra wrote: Perhaps now is a good time for me to ask this question that's been on my mind for a while: Apart from an extensive code cleanup, are there any other things to look forward to with your upcoming release? This is particularly important given the level of breakage in user customization and general backward compatibility (relative to 2.x). Of course, once BBDB v3 is released, users need to be able to rely on the new design. For me, this has been a major reason that delayed an earlier release: Turning BBDB around once must be enough. So I wanted to do this carefully. By now, unless someone on this list brings up problems with BBDB v3 that remained unnoticed so far, I do not have plans to further modify the code of BBDB (except for fixing docstrings that could still be buggy / incomplete). In particular, I do not want to introduce any additional incompatible changes beyond the ones present in the current code. I would like to capture this question and a summary of your answers as a FAQ on the updated project site on sourceforge. Thanks a lot, that will be helpful!

Re: bbdb/news-auto-create-p in V3
On Thu Apr 5 2012 Sriram ET. wrote: I can see that this customization has been removed from BBDBv3. After spending a little time with the code I am still not able to figure out if it has been replaced with something else. I would like to automatically create entries for email that is in my work email group in gnus. Is there a recommended way to do that in BBDBv3? I believe that since the appearance of BBDB v3 the question has come up several times how to distinguish within Gnus between email / news messages in different mail folders / news groups. So I expect that more people would appreciate if this was mentioned in a FAQ for BBDB v3. While I do not know much about Gnus, I expect that a proper solution should use a function going into the variable bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p. This function should use some gnus variables to identify the context for which BBDB got invoked. If anyone has developed some code along these lines, please post it here.

macos 10.7.4
emacs i386-apple-darwin9.8.0, Carbon Version 1.6.0
wanderlust 2.15.9
bbdb 2.35
when i have kanji in a name and then save the .bbdb, i end up with \mush
in the file and lose the kanji. i tried saving in mule,
iso-this-and-that, etc. no love. same problem for extended latin
alphabets.
it is likely my fault, as i seem to have accumulated an amazing amount
of bbdb cruft.
