What are you missing without it? I like the window configuration restored after using bbdb. The patch below should fix this. Thanks to Martin Rudalics who helped me with the window internals. A proper solution requires GNU Emacs 24. For Emacs 23 the required functions do not exist. As a workaround, you can now make the *BBDB* window weakly dedicated. That should most often have the same effect. On another note, it would be nice if there are settings for the window size both under and outside of a MUA. I would like to have a much smaller window in Gnus then if bbdb is called up interactively. See the new variable bbdb-mua-pop-up-window-size which complements bbdb-pop-up-window-size. Also, I made bbdb-message-pop-up an obsolete alias for bbdb-mua-pop-up. The latter name is more consistent with other variable names. Finally, this patch enables horizontal window splitting not only with the mua-auto-update feature. But you get a horizontally split BBDB window with any of the respective bbdb-mua-* commands, if the value of bbdb-mua-pop-up is 'horiz. 2012-12-26 Roland Winkler wink...@gnu.org * lisp/bbdb.el (bbdb-dedicated-window): New user variable.

There is one buglet that is pretty annoying i.e. after bbdb-transpose-fields point is moved to the beginning of the record. I think it should stay in the same field of the record before and after the transposition. I agree that this is annoying. The culprit is the function bbdb-redisplay-record. When it redisplays a record after whatever modification, it puts point at the beginning of the record. It would be better if it restored point as close as possible to where it was before the alteration of the record. Currently I do not have a good (robust) idea how to fix this. It is on my to-do list. Yet I do not give this the highest priority. But patches are welcome.

Announcing BBDB records in the Gnus summary buffer
bbdb-gnus.el contains some code for announcing BBDB records in the summary buffer. It includes the user variables bbdb/gnus-summary-mark-known-posters bbdb/gnus-summary-show-bbdb-names bbdb/gnus-summary-prefer-bbdb-data bbdb/gnus-summary-prefer-real-names controling what is actually displayed and when. Is anyone using this? I found that it is rather difficult to figure out how these four variables control the announcements. I suggest to replace these four variables by two variables bbdb/gnus-summary-use-bbdb establishing a prioritized list of possibilities to consider. The elements of this list may include something like bbdb-name, bbdb-mail, msg-name, msg-mail, from Say, if the first element of this list is bbdb-name, then the announcement should first try to use the BBDB name found for the sender of the message. Then try to obey the 2nd element, etc. Does this make sense? Comments and suggestions are welcome. -- Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
