RW It seems you want to customize bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p.
OK but all I can find is
bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p is a compiled Lisp function in
`bbdb-mua.el'.
How do I save the output of
M-x bbdb-display-all-records
in a file using emacs -batch?

What torture. The 1000 item mailing list I was reading has a different
obfuscation for each mail from even the same person.
So I get asked over and over about Bob's supposed new address. There
should be a new choice: don't ask me again about him for a month!
Package: BBDB 2.35
Here's how I send mail to my friends.
escape x b b d b return s o m e f r i e n d return C-x o m
(Here we notice I still hit escape instead of ALT, since 1987)
But what bugs me is that I must do the C-x o. Did I forget to set a
variable or is there none yet for this case.
I see. I should use all four methods for extra protection. Is that
what the deal is?
;; -*-coding: utf-8;-*-
at the top of ~/.bbdb , and in .emacs:
(setq bbdb-file-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)
(add-hook 'bbdb-load-hook
(lambda () (setq bbdb-file-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)))
(setq
OK, I am putting
;; -*-coding: utf-8;-*-
at the top of ~/.bbdb .
Will that ensure that no matter what wacky headers somebody sends me,
~/.bbdb's coding won't get hijacked again, forcing me to have to dig it
out of backups?
No more message of .bbdb doom:
These default coding systems were tried:

Idea: implement undo. Let's say one makes a mistake. Currently there's
no way to undo it.
E.g., after a regretted bbdb-delete-current-field-or-record, there's
no way back. One must kill emacs and throw away the #.bbdb# file and
start again.
I hit gnus-group-save-newsrc and all the sudden I am being asked by
gnus to pick a new character set for some file.
I find my formerly big5 .bbdb has now all been converted to utf-8,
apparently due to a single mail I replied to

I'm completing a mail address with TAB when suddenly,
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error record doubleplus unpresent!)
But it nor the manual doesn't say what to do about it.
All I know is I'm now doubleplus-positive. A doubleplus carrier in the
community with no cure.
Just curious, reading the docstring of bbdb-offer-save: If t, If
nil If not t and not nil , wouldn't it be safer, in the
first place, but not now, to use an exact value for the last, not a
wildcard? I mean one day you might want to add further possibilities,
but e.g., you don't
bbdb-print is just to print .tex, how about .html or .txt?
By a batch job too.
OK, I was able to make a .txt with
$ emacs -batch -eval '(progn(bbdb nil)
(other-window 1)(write-file bbdb.txt))
You might want to document the proper way.
I see I must use progn as safer and poops out at

From: Blob Dlobs bla bla via RT [EMAIL PROTECTED]
bbdb asks over and over about changing this and that.
I was going to send you just what BBDB asked me, but it's not in the
*Messages* buffer, dangnabbit!
I propose
What would be the right handheld computer, PDA, Palm, etc. for a BBDB

I love how if there are already Notes and you use ^o to make some
more, bbdb queries you and waits until you are finished typing them in
before razzing you with
bbdb-insert-new-field: there already are notes!
Well you could have told me earlier.

open an empty window. Just say you are sorry in the minibuffer in
this case. No need to go splitting people's windows.
