I looked into completion-in-region. Here the problem is that the completion done by bbdb-complete-name is not a comventional completion. If you type a name appearing in a BBDB record, bbdb-complete-name replaces this name by the email address for this record. Yet the name and the email address can be completely different. I have not yet looked into completion-at-point-functions whether it can handle this kind of unusual behavior. > > In any event, a simple "t" after (run-hooks 'bbdb-complete-mail-hook) > > does the trick, but it probably needs to be changed in some other > > places. > > Note also that I've already installed a hack in message.el (at least in > Emacs's trunk) that checks that the buffer really was not modified > before trusting a nil return value from bbdb, to work around > the problem. Thanks, that's good. Anyway, it might take more time till people might switch to BBDB 3 and the problem exists both with the old and the current BBDB.
