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.
