Re: [BBDB] ChangeLog 2011-12-11
I'll spare you all the boring details, but essentially I'm having to recreate my ~/.emacs from scratch. I checked out the most recent code from the Savannah repository today and followed the instructions in INSTALL and README as best I understood them. This gave me: (require 'bbdb-loaddefs "~/.emacs.d/bbdb/lisp/bbdb-loaddefs.el") (bbdb-initialize) (bbdb-mua-auto-update-init) This did not do what I wanted: automatically add or amend records in ~/.bbdb from Gnus articles. So I went back to README and found Binding [bbdb-mua-auto-update-p] to a function is often most helpful for noninteractive use. For example, you may want to bind bbdb-mua-auto-update-p to the function bbdb-select-message, see bbdb-accept-message-alist and bbdb-ignore-message-alist. If a message is accepted by bbdb-select-message, the actual action performed by BBDB (i.e., the return value of bbdb-select-message) is given by bbdb-mua-update-records-p. And in fact, C-h v says that bbdb-mua-auto-update-p is bound to bbdb-select message. As far as I can tell, setting (setq bbdb-mua-auto-update-p t) has no effect, and neither does doing the same to bbdb-mua-update-records-p. Clearly, I am misunderstanding something or Doing It Wrong.

I don't know if it still applies, but the old manual for 2.35 has the following in section 1.7.3[1]: If the variable bbdb/mail-auto-create-p is set to the symbol bbdb-ignore-most-messages-hook, then the variable bbdb-ignore-most-messages-alist will determine which messages should have records automatically created for them. The format of this alist is (( HEADER-NAME . REGEXP ) . ) for example, (("From" . "@.*\\.maximegalon\\.edu") ("Subject" . "time travel")) will cause BBDB entries to be made only for messages sent by people at Maximegalon U., or (that's or) people posting about time travel. There may be only one entry per header in this alist: that is, (("From" . "addr1\\|addr2") . ) is legal, but (("From" . "addr1") ("From" . "addr2") . ) is not. That looks to be what you want, I think. But again, I don't know whether it's still valid for version 3 (though I suppose you could tell git to use the 2.35 code, since it was all imported?).

Running "make bbdb" byte-compiles the .el files and generates bbdb-autoloads.el; running it in place works just fine. (If you're using VM, you'll also need to run "make vm".) As to making it work, based on an earlier thread on this list, I have the following in ~/.emacs (I use Gnus, as will be obvious): (require 'bbdb) (require 'bbdb-autoloads) (bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message) (bbdb-mua-auto-update-init 'gnus 'message) I don't know whether all that is strictly necessary, but it works for me. -- RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 ___ bbdb-info@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/

I hope this is the right list; there didn't seem to be a different one listed on Savannah.
