1000 years ago I reported a problem with then CVS Emacs and BBDB:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.bbdb.user/1630
At the time the BBDB maintainer said "I don't want to keep up with CVS;
wait until a release" and RMS said something I translate to "BBDB must
change".
The problem still exists in the official Emacs release 22.3 and in CVS
Emacs. I've poked at BBDB a bit and the only fix I can come up with is
an ugly hack--it strips quotes before calling define-mail-abbrev. Below
is a sample diff which ignores the fact that nets can have multiple
entries.
What's the right fix?
