Hi, I am new to emacs and BBDB and I wanted to ask this list if I'm running BBDB in the correct way... I have the following in my .emacs : ------------------ ;; BBDB (autoload 'bbdb "bbdb-com" "Insidious Big Brother Database" t) (autoload 'bbdb-name "bbdb-com" "Insidious Big Brother Database" t) (autoload 'bbdb-company "bbdb-com" "Insidious Big Brother Database" t) (autoload 'bbdb-net "bbdb-com" "Insidious Big Brother Database" t) (autoload 'bbdb-notes "bbdb-com" "Insidious Big Brother Database" t) ;(autoload 'bbdb-insinuate-vm "bbdb-vm" "Hook BBDB into VM") ;(autoload 'bbdb-insinuate-rmail "bbdb-rmail" "Hook BBDB into RMAIL") ;(autoload 'bbdb-insinuate-mh "bbdb-mhe" "Hook BBDB into MH-E") (autoload 'bbdb-insinuate-gnus "bbdb-gnus" "Hook BBDB into GNUS") ;(autoload 'bbdb-insinuate-sendmail "bbdb" "Hook BBDB into sendmail") ;(add-hook 'gnus-startup-hook 'bbdb-insinuate-gnus) (setq bbdb-north-american-phone-numbers-p nil) (setq bbdb-default-area-code 01) ------------------ I use "M-x bbdb" to start it up where by I get the *BBDB* buffer, I then need to do "M-x bbdb" again to get the mouse functionality to add fields, etc, I don't think this is correct! Also, how do I go about sorting these records? I use xemacs19.11 on HP-UX 9.03. Any help most appreciated...
