I've added a record to bbdb with my name and email aliases (well I have trouble remembering them sometimes), however I read a newsgroup to which another 'Robert Marshall' contributes. Normally, if it wasn't my name, I'd have no qualms about merging the two records. In this case I separate them. However I then get an error when viewing posting by either of us (in gnus), I get (with emails anonymised): Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument listp ["Robert" "Marshall" nil nil nil nil ("other Robert Marshall's email") ((creation-date . "2001-04-30") (timestamp . "2001-05-22")) ["Robert Marshall" nil #<marker at 23626 in .bbdb> nil]]) bbdb-annotate-message-sender("Robert Marshall <my email>" t nil nil) bbdb/gnus-update-record(nil) I thought bbdb coped with this case - thought I read it in the docs somewhere... If it doesn't, have anyone got a workaround - at the moment I've amended my namesake to have some extra initials which seems to work ok (this is bbdb version 2.32) Robert -- Robert Marshall _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/
