Re: [ilugd] BBDB for Kmail
>i am still wondering why he doesnt put it on CPAN Hi, Isnt there an *extensions* mechanism for Kmail like there is for Thunderbird? You could then submit your application to be included in the extensions for Kmail. catch ya later (Ive gotta UnWire Life!!!) shiv - All-new Yahoo! Mail - Fire up a more powerful email and get things done faster. ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

[ilugd] BBDB for Kmail
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 So... switched to Kmail from [X]Emacs + VM. Things were pretty smooth except for this lack of the Insidious Big Brother Database (the BBDB). In case you don't know what the BBDB is, here's a bit from the write-up: The Insidious Big Brother Database (BBDB) is a contact management utility created by Jamie Zawinski for use with Emacs. It is tightly integrated with several mail and news readers (see below), allowing it to create database entries directly from mail and news messages. As is usual with applications for Emacs, this record creation can be configured in many ways, ranging from a boolean create/don't create setting to creation based on the result of a user-supplied function. So basically BBDB sits around and watches incoming e-mails, and whenever it sees a new e-mail address it automagically adds it to your contact list (maintained in it's own database). Then you can use that database for address completion and searches when sending mail. That is one feature I can't live without, so here's my little offering on the altar of FLOSS-because-I-needed-it: kbbdb, a minimal BBDB clone for Kmail. In short, kbbdb is a filter app that you call when you receive messages. It extracts addresses from the message (the sender's address by default) creates a little VCARD file and invokes KAddressBook's DCOP interface to add the VCARD entry to your KDE address book. Of course, KAddressBook has to be running for all this to work :) It isn't very sophisticated, the pop-up confirmation windows can get a bit tedious and it can probably be massively improved. On the plus side, I've been using it for the past 3 days without any problems, you can use it to add contacts from existing messages in your mailbox(es), and it's well-documented. Take it, break it, use it and abuse it: http://shanta.linuxops.net/~raju/Software/kbbdb Feedback, feature requests, etc. welcome.
