This is very similar to a long-standing wish of mine which I've never articulated here - what I'd like is for the BBDB to become effectively read-only for certain mailboxes (or groups, in gnus). Then I could see the BBDB records, where these exist, when trawling through old mailboxes but without any interaction or accidental pollution. I had a go at doing this ages ago by toggling the global bbdb-readonly-p flag in an auto-create-hook but it didn't seem to work very well (presumably not all the places in the code which would need to check bbdb-readonly-p if it was changing regularly actually do so) and is obviously not the Right Way to get the behaviour I want. Any ideas? Maybe I should try doing something in the bbdb-notice-hook instead... RobF said > I use a hook to ignore all but my inboxes for annotation Can we see it?
