Re: function to add new records from email message

But as you noticed reshuffling the existing ones is hopefully not so difficult. Try bbdb-mua-display-sender This function does nothing, if the record does not yet exist. ...depending on how you configure it. As I said: the default is being the least aggressive. Hello, Finally I understand: `bbdb-mua-display-*' does not only *display* records, but can also update them, depending on `bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p'. I've replaced `bbdb-mua-edit-notes-*' by `bbdb-mua-display-records' and everything is fine now! But it's not a big issue, I just have to press Return for each new record. What do you mean here? Which step needs to be confirmed by typing Return so that apparently you get what you want? Since I have still used the bbdb-mua-edit-notes-* functions, at every new record bbdb asked for notes. But with the display function, this is solved. Thanks! -- Peter -- Get your Android app more play: Bring it to the BlackBerry PlayBook in minutes.
