Hi, I'm using "git-emacs"
emacs-version => "25.1.50.1" and elpa bbdb bbdb-version => "3.1.2" (via ELPA) If I do M-x eudc-query, find a record corresponding to a contact not in my bbdb , and try to add it to my bbdb via "b" (more precisely, by the function "eudc-try-bbdb-insert") I get an error - this is what appears in *Messages*: bbdb-change-record: Wrong type argument: listp, "john....@tufts.edu" After doing the above command, looking at the "raw" bbdb file there is indeed a record corresponding to John Doe, and the email address that appears in that record seems garbled compared to the other records (it comes out something like the following: ["John Q." "Doe" nil "john....@tufts.edu" nil nil nil nil ((creation-date . "2015-11-15 15:24:49 +0000") (timestamp . "2015-11-15 15:24:49 +0000")) nil] -- in other records in my bbdb file, the email address(es) seems to be "inside a list".) Maybe the problem is just that the eudc conversion tools (in eudc-export.el) are only aimed at pre-version 3 bbdb? perhaps those tools create records that are incompatible with bbdb3? For what it is worth, this is the 2nd time I've thought about this matter. I tried to make this sort of conversion work 6 months or so ago. At that time I think I seem to have thought there was also trouble with phone numbers, so I had made the following simplification [in an attempt to get things working a little bit, at least...]: ,---- | eudc-ldap-bbdb-conversion-alist | | Value: ((name . cn) | (net . mail) | (address eudc-bbdbify-address postaladdress "Address")) | | Original value was | ((name . cn) | (net . mail) | (address eudc-bbdbify-address postaladdress "Address") | (phone | (eudc-bbdbify-phone telephonenumber "Phone"))) `---- but this doesn't help with the error I mention above (and I put the problem down for a while). So: am I doing something bone-headed? Is there some way to make things work? Maybe a smarter setting of the eudc-ldap-bbdb-conversion-alist variable just mentioned?
