Hello, Finally I understand: `bbdb-mua-display-*' does not only *display* records, but can also update them, depending on `bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p'. I've replaced `bbdb-mua-edit-notes-*' by `bbdb-mua-display-records' and everything is fine now! But it's not a big issue, I just have to press Return for each new record. What do you mean here? Which step needs to be confirmed by typing Return so that apparently you get what you want? Since I have still used the bbdb-mua-edit-notes-* functions, at every new record bbdb asked for notes. But with the display function, this is solved. Thanks! -- Peter -- Get your Android app more play: Bring it to the BlackBerry PlayBook in minutes.

The docstring should talk not only about the internal function bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p but first of all it should mention the commands affected by this. I'll try to fix this.

function to add new records from email message
Hello, I'm looking for a function, that takes a message (from the message buffer or the gnus summary buffer), scans all email addresses in the header and adds new records to the bbdb for not yet existing email addresses. Is there already such a function? If yes, what's its name? If no, will there be such a function soon? There is (bbdb-mua-edit-notes-recipients), but: - it only takes the recipients and not the sender - it only takes the first recipient and not the others - it asks if I want to add it (I don't want interaction) - it asks for notes (I don't want to add notes) I'm using the latest bbdb with the latest emacs and gnus.
