[BBDB] ChangeLog 2014-05-06
(1) BBDB now allows arbitrary lisp expressions as values of xfields. Interactively, you can call bbdb-insert-field or bbdb-edit-field with a prefix arg for this. If the value of an xfield is not a string, it is displayed using the same pretty-printer used by describe-variable. There might still be some rough edges with this new feature that I have overlooked. Please report them here. (2) Do not treat bbdb-change-hook special when inside bbdb-notice-mail-hook or bbdb-notice-record-hook. 2014-05-06 Roland Winkler wink...@gnu.org Do not treat bbdb-change-hook special when inside bbdb-notice-mail-hook or bbdb-notice-record-hook. * lisp/bbdb.el (bbdb-notice-mail-hook, bbdb-notice-record-hook): Update docstring.

Re: Compose mail to everyone whose record is displayed, including all addresses in the net field?
RW == Roland Winkler wink...@gnu.org writes: RW On Sun May 4 2014 Eric Abrahamsen wrote: kid name net: m...@gmail.com, d...@gmail.com AKA: family name mail-alias: soccer_team_name I would ideally like to list all email addresses in each BBDB tuple in the To: field of the email using one command on the *BBDB* buffer. Check the docstring for bbdb-mail, which is the function that starts mail composition from the BBDB buffer. Looks like if you give it a C-u prefix, it will use all of the mail addresses. If you're combining this with the * prefix to act on all the visible records, you've got to hit the * before the C-u prefix key. RW The above reply refers to BBDB 3. It seems that Marc is using RW BBDB 2. I do not know about the latter. Marc, can you switch RW to BBDB 3? RW Roland Roland and Eric, Thank you both. I upgraded to BBDB3, reconfigured the customization, and then used the * C-u m key sequence in the BBDB buffer to broadcast the message to the email list. I appreciate the advice and help with BBDB. I really like the BBDB package and appreciate the work and improvements going into it. Thanks, marc -- -- Is your legacy SCM system holding you back?
