I believe these things date back to old times when the notes field was the only field of its kind, that is, the user could not define new fields. - Even with BBDB 2 there was nothing special anymore about the notes field. Maybe a user prefers to put such things into a field foo? So I'd like to avoid such hard-coded solutions, this should be customizable. (Isn't this what all BBDB is about?) Now I am thinking about a user variable, which holds a cons pair, kind of similar to bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p. The car is the field to edit when the command is used without a prefix, and the cdr is the field to edit when called with a prefix. And if one of these is `all-fields' the user can enter the field to edit. I guess a similar thing should be done with the commands in bbdb-mua.el, which also contain hard-coded references to the notes field. > but when you try to add notes afterwards there is no such field > name prompting: neither the `;' shortcut is available, nor the > bbdb-insert-field will propose `notes' like a field. The latter is not correct (at least for me): when bbdb-insert-field asks for the field to insert, this offers completion, and it includes all fields known in your BBDB session. So if at least one of your records has a notes field, `notes' is included in the list of completions provided by bbdb-insert-field. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
