Re: BBDB release? [was: Fixing completion cycles]
Release. I've been using v3 for some time and it works very well for me.

Completing records with organization field
Hi, I got some weird behavior in bbdb3: When I try to complete entries without organization everything is normal, I get FirstName LastName mail , but on entries that have an organization set I just get mail . I don't suppose this is a feature? Or did I miss some customization variable?

I don't suppose this is a feature? Or did I miss some customization variable? I guess you need to be more specific here. What command do you execute under what circumstances? What are your BBDB settings? If the command was bbdb-complete-mail, I do not quite see how you could get a mail address not surrounded by (Your mail says that instead you had NO-BREAK SPACEs, which is yet more strange. BBDB does not deal with the NO-BREAK SPACE character anywhere.) Roland I put in the NO-BREAK SPACE to avoid formatting quirks and ambiguity around the quotation marks, didn't actually avoid confusion, huh? :) I attached an example bbdb file with a few entries and a recipe to reproduce the behavior.

Yea, I saw that… For example, Alice Doe does not have an organization field. What matters is that some names are also part of the email address. It seems you want bbdb-mail-allow-redundancy set to t. That does precisely what I want! Actually, I do not know why this variable's default is nil (well, I guess its default was always nil...) Would anybody mind if I set it to t? I guess that's more often matching the users' expectations. Roland I'd strongly recommend changing the default, the way it is now is highly counter-intuitive (for me) and as often, it's hard to find the right option if you don't know what you're looking for (in my case the only obvious difference between the contacts the organization). thanks, -- Philipp Haselwarter -- All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.

vcard support for bbdb3
Hey, are there currently any efforts/plans to get vcard support into the bbdb3 series? I see that Leo has added an entry to the TODO list, but unfortunately it doesn't look like anyone got around to tackle this yet. Bert Burgemeister's bbdb-vcard.el (http://github.com/trebb/bbdb-vcard) appears quite feature rich but didn't work for me (I guess `bbdb-do-all-records-p' and friends are bbdb2?), maybe it could be updated to work with v3 without too much effort. -- Philipp Haselwarter -- All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.

Usability of 3.02 - gnus, message
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?) -- Philipp Haselwarter -- Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
