1) The point is: IF THERE IS ALREADY AN RECORD FOR THIS PERSON! In this case bbdb/mail-auto-create-p is not honored, i.e. regardless of its value you get asked if you want to create a new record. Answer NO the the "Add address ..." (bbdb-always-add-addresses = nil) then you get asked "Create a new record for ...", but IMHO this should not be done if bbdb/mail-auto-create-p is nil. Furthermore, it should also honor PROMPT-FOR-CREATE (which my patch does not do so far). After digging in the code of bbdb-message-sender I recalled that this also annoys me from time to time ... 2) The change of bbdb-always-add-addresses's semantic allows NOT-SO-LISP-EXPERIENCED users to utilize the same hooks as for ignore-(some|all)-messages, i.e. all they need is customize. Otherwise they need to write some small wrapper defun ... or we add another wrapper, but I dare adding more code. > I don't quite see the benefit in adding yet another layer > on top of this The patch is NOT "yet another layer", but slightly corrected/enhanced/eased semantics.
