Re: 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. I use the mark-known-posters functionality. I don't automatically notice addresses, so I find that a useful hint as to whether I want to add someone since I use bbdb for some of my filtering. Since I am still using 2.36 from the old CVS repository because I use XEmacs at work and prefer to keep my .bbdb in sync between work and home, I don't actually care if the method of getting the functionality changes as you propose. When I finally move to Emacs at both work and home, upgrading to BBDB 3 will make sense and I will expect to have to change a lot anyway. -- Dave Goldberg david.goldbe...@verizon.net -- Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.

I'm not either, and wouldn't like to override names in the From header, but I would definitely use 'mark-known-posters' if it was easy to configure. -- Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.

I think I tried to use the gnus-summary-show-bbdb-names in my sent folder as I only keep the real email address in the To header. If someone has an obscure email it would be nice to use the bbdb name.
