hi,

        I just started using the package BBDB (version 1.50) with
emacs version 19.19.3.  I love it!  I am having one problem though:

I added the field mail-alias to the database for many different people
and I have added a call to bbdb-define-all-aliases in my
mail-setup-hook, but this doesn't seem to be modifying the
mail-aliases variable and therefore my mail aliases are not working.
I have used C-h v to look at mail-aliases and it is nil before and
after calling bbdb-define-all-aliases.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help! 

        Eric 


P.S.  Here is how I set mail and bbdb up in my .emacs file:

(add-hook 'mail-send-hook (function (lambda () (mail-signature nil))))
(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-rmail    "bbdb-rmail" "Hook BBDB into RMAIL")
(autoload 'bbdb-insinuate-gnus     "bbdb-gnus"  "Hook BBDB into GNUS")
(autoload 'bbdb-insinuate-sendmail "bbdb"       "Hook BBDB into sendmail")
(setq rmail-mode-hook 'bbdb-insinuate-rmail)
(setq gnus-Startup-hook 'bbdb-insinuate-gnus)   ; for GNUS 3.14 or older
(setq bbdb-default-area-code 603)
(setq bbdb-info-file "~dors/lib/emacs/bbdb-1.50/bbdb.info")
(add-hook 'mail-setup-hook
          (function 
           (lambda ()
             (bbdb-insinuate-sendmail)
             (bbdb-define-all-aliases)
             (auto-fill-mode))))
