Actually, I am yet more tempted to replace this variable by bbdb-mail-avoid-redundancy as currently bbdb-mail-allow-redundancy supports not only nil and t, but also mail-only -- which is exactly the opposite you might expect from bbdb-mail-allow-redundancy.

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. 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.

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 ", 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?
