It allows you to tweak what it considers prefixes, but that's not really any use for this. The current recommended solution as implemented in the BBDB code tree is 1. Set bbdb-extract-address-components-func to bbdb-extract-address-components (it defaults to bbdb-rfc822-addresses, which is essentially a wrapper to remove some of the stupidity from rfc822.el) 2. Add an entry to bbdb-extract-address-component-regexps to handle the "via" stuff. What you're losing here is that rfc822.el is pretty much the definitive emacs implementation of correct address parsing, but it's mechanical in that it returns to you the exact "name" text from the input email address. On the other hand, Robert Fenk and others have put a good deal of work into making bbdb-extract-address-components operate in a pretty sane fashion, and you get the added benefit of being able to tweak it more than you can tweak the rfc822 stuff. In an ideal world, this mess would be handled by mail-extr.el or rfc822.el. Unfortunately, we're not in an ideal world. Cheers, Waider. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Yes, it /is/ very personal of me.
