I finally took the leap to switch to v 3.
In the process I doubled http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/UpgradeBBDB
I still have a couple of problems:
1. despite
(bbdb-mua-auto-update-init 'gnus 'message)
when I view an article, the *BBDB* buffer does not appear for the
known senders (marked with a bbdb/gnus-summary-known-poster-mark in
summary). When I do
(add-hook 'gnus-article-prepare-hook 'bbdb-mua-display-sender)
I am asked to create a record for the author of EVERY article I view.
This was controlled by
(setq bbdb/news-auto-create-p 'bbdb-ignore-most-messages-hook)
in v2. What do I do now?
2. I want to avoid putting the email uid into the first name slot.
I.e., when creating a record for "f...@bar.com", I want the names to
be void, not "foo" "".
As a first step, I tried to find all such records I have:
(defun address-name (address)
(if (string-match "@" address)
(substring address 0 (match-beginning 0))
address))
(with-current-buffer (find-file-noselect bbdb-file)
(dolist (rec bbdb-records)
(when (and (equal (bbdb-record-lastname rec) "")
(find (bbdb-record-firstname rec) (bbdb-record-mail rec)
:key 'address-name :test 'equal))
(print rec))))
Now, my question is: how do I modify these records?
(setf (bbdb-record-lastname rec) nil
(bbdb-record-firstname rec) nil)
does not work.
Thanks.
