It has been rather quiet on this list.
Recently I discovered that my BBDB file was mis-sorted and I could
well reproduce what had happened. I realized that I never paid
much attention to how BBDB re-sorts the database after changing a
record. The old code was rather complicated and error-prone. The
new code is simpler and hopefully also more robust.
Also, I added a new snarfing rule `eu' following a suggestion by
Marco Wahl sent to this list. I am sorry, Marco, my final code
has turned out rather different from your original suggestion. Yet
hopefully the new code will be more robust and it should also be
useful for yet more people.
