I have a similar problem but seemingly with ordinary characters as
well. I am using BBDB from CVS (not updated for probably a month now)
with VM 6.89 and Emacs 21.0.94.
I see the prompt described in steps 2-7 above for mailing lists that I
am in - for e.g. the NTEmacs list. Let's say that someone else names
the list NT Emacs (List) which is different from the entry in my
.bbdb, then I get prompted. Even though I answer n, the alternative
spelling still ends up in the database. Look:
--
["NT" "Emacs" ("Ntemacs-users" "Ntemacs Users Group" "Ntemacs-Users (E-Mail)" "Gnu
Emacs List (E-Mail)" "emacs" "NTEmacs-List" "Ntemacs (E-Mail)" "GNU emacs List"
"Ntemacs-Users@Cs Washington Edu" "NTEmacs list" "Nt Emacs List \\(E-Mail\\)" "Nt
Emacs List (E-Mail)" "Ntemacs Users List" "Emacs Mailing List" "ntemacs") nil nil nil
("[EMAIL PROTECTED]") ((creation-date . "2000-05-19") (timestamp .
"2001-01-04") (mail-alias . "ntemacs")) nil]
--
When I answer n to make the new name an alternate, why is it inserted
in the database?
