Agreed. It's my understanding that a major point in having the function add-hook is that you can call it without worrying whether the function you want to add to a hook is already present. > > Do you have a good name for such a hook? > > I'd be inclined to say that the existing hook should have been > called bbdb-notice-address-hook, so the new one could get called > bbdb-notice-record-hook, but of course we can't rename that hook > without breaking everyone's setups. I am inclined to making this change anyway, a reason being that the difference between these hooks was previously not spelled out, so that with the new BBDB people have to redecide what they really want. Also, I cleaned up the code that allows bbdb-notice-(address)-hook to identify the address in the message so that any such hook functions need to be updated, too. In general, my philosphy is here that so many things have changed that anyway everyone should check more carefully what he or she wants. A user who was really just happy with the old BBDB and doesn't care about the new stuff, is probably better off if he or she continues using the old BBDB. > > If you have not yet signed any paperwork, it is probably the easiest > > if you simply say it is for Emacs and BBDB/Emacs. > > Sent.
