Well, the cons is used only by those commands that do not use their prefix arg for anything else. If you do not want to use at all the prefix arg for switching between something like 'query and 'create, then leave the cdr as it is and do not worry about it. > btw, when I have a record for "John Smith <f...@bar.com>" and I see an > article by "John Smith <q...@bar.com>", bbdb shows John's record but > does not offer to update the net field unless I try to edit the record > with ";". is this intentional? "Intentional" is not the right word, "long-time eastablished" is probably more accurate. When you say > bbdb shows John's record but does not offer to update the net > field I assume that you are using one of BBDB's auto-update functions to display automatically the BBDB records for a message, and you have bbdb-mua-auto-update-p bound to 'search. I think BBDB always followed the strategy that if you did not allow the creation of a new record (possibly preceded by a query) then BBDB would not check either whether there is an existing record that could be updated. Here it could make sense to check even after a plain 'search whether the record it found needs to be updated. Anyway, there are user variables controlling whether in the end BBDB performs the update of an existing record. So if someone doesn't like to update existing records, he or she should inhibit this via the respective switches. I'll look into this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
