I have tried to follow the instructions there, but I don't seem to be able to get it working In my .emacs file I have: ,---- | (require 'bbdb) | (bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message) | (bbdb-mua-auto-update-init) `---- and I have modified the variables mentioned in the README file bbdb-mua-pop-up is: ,---- | bbdb-mua-pop-up is a variable defined in ‘bbdb.el’. | Its value is t `---- ,---- | bbdb-mua-auto-update-p is a variable defined in ‘bbdb.el’. | Its value is ‘query’ `---- but the BBDB buffer is still not updated when I move from one message to another in Gnus. >> 3.

I would be happy to do this interactively, but I don't see any command to close the BBDB buffer? (Do I just have to define my own?) >> 4.

OK, changing it to (query . query) now BBDB offers me to add a record to the database. ,---- | bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p is a variable defined in ‘bbdb.el’. | Its value is (query . query) | Original value was (search . query) `---- So, I'm very close to getting it to do what I would like, the only important missing part is that I would like that once I have pressed ":" and the BBDB buffer is visible, when I move to another mail message the contents in the BBDB buffer are updated automatically. -- Ángel de Vicente http://www.iac.es/galeria/angelv/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADVERTENCIA: Sobre la privacidad y cumplimiento de la Ley de Protección de Datos, acceda a http://www.iac.es/disclaimer.php WARNING: For more information on privacy and fulfilment of the Law concerning the Protection of Data, consult http://www.iac.es/disclaimer.php?lang=en ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ bbdb-info@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/
