hi,
        I have sent this message to a couple of places, it seems I
have been confused about where to send it, sorry to those I have
bothered, and I hope I have got things straight now.

        I have been using bbdb for a while now.  I like it alot,
however there is one problem I can't seem to get straight.  I have
defined a mail-alias field for many people and I run the function
bbdb-define-all-aliases in the mail-setup-hook, but somehow the
define alias is never run on those entries because when I look at the
mail-aliases variable it is nil.  What am I doing wrong?


                Thanks for any info...

                                Eric

p.s. here is my setup from my .emacs

(add-hook 'mail-send-hook (function (lambda () (mail-signature nil))))
