I've been playing with bbdb insinuation and flyspell both lately. Interesting packages, both, but both of them try to bind `core' functionality to [M-tab]. flyspell is part of emacs now, but bbdb is a old and widely-used package, and the bbdb mapping is more intuitive (bbdb-complete-name versus flyspell-auto-correct-word). I'm not sure which way, if either, should be corrected. For myself, I've adopted the alternate solution of adding M-; as bbdb-complete-name in mh-letter-mode-map; this matches other bbdb idiom, and replaces the otherwise-unuseful comment-dwim. I'm sending this to both bbdb and emacs-pretest bug lists in case the relevant maintainers decide that discussion is warranted. I would personally suggest that the flyspell binding be replaced. diff -r1.59 bbdb-mhe.el 223a224 > (define-key mh-letter-mode-map "\M-;" 'bbdb-complete-name) chad Emacs : GNU Emacs 21.0.104.2
