While the links to the project seem to be dead, the page says that the code tried to re-implement for BBDB3 what BBDB-Wl did for BBDB2. What is BBDB-Wl? BBDB3 supports a number of MUAs I don't know either. But I simply took the code from BBDB2 as a guidance to re-implement the interface. So I could take a look at BBDB-Wl to see whether it allows a similar thing. -- 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/

I myself do not know anything about WL. I got the code that BBDB uses to interact with WL from David Maus, whom I include in this message. However, if I set up BBDB using the following code with my-mua bound to gnus or vm, BBDB will query to auto-update the database whenever I read a message, where the sender is not yet known to BBDB. (require 'bbdb-loaddefs "/path/to/bbdb/lisp/bbdb-loaddefs.el") (setq my-mua 'gnus) (bbdb-initialize my-mua) (bbdb-mua-auto-update-init my-mua) (setq bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p '(query . create) bbdb-update-records-p 'query bbdb-mua-auto-update-p 'query) Can you reproduce that this works for you as expected with Gnus? If the BBDB interface with WL does not work as it should, could someone look into this who is actually using WL and knows more about it than me? -- 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/

(Do I just have to define my own?) What do you mean by "closing the BBDB buffer"?

So if you call the command with C-u (because you know what you want), you get the more "aggressive" action. (Of course, if "query" is all you always want, you need not worry about the cdr. Or you make the cdr a less aggressive action. The choices are yours.) -- 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/
