I am sorry, this sounds a bit like a vague fairy tale from nowhere land. Could you be a bit more specific? Which version of BBDB are you talking about? Is it your own experience, or are you talking about someone else? I guess that text properties can end up in the database itself if you are using something like (buffer-)substring instead of (buffer-)substring-no-properties when grabbing a fontified text string that ends up in BBDB. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
