Please don't disregard the old manual completely, but read with caution! I have learned to use BBDB 3 pretty much from the old manual, so it's certainly a reasonable place to start. There are some breaking changes in variable names, and that's where looking at the docstrings / source or eventually the mailing list comes in. If you have the time, keep notes of the changes as you learn; these will be useful for updating the manual. I asked about this previously, but it seems an update is (understandably) not on top of the todo list. I guess if the info files are included in git, maybe someone else than the main developer(s?) could work on it? I wouldn't mind trying to help, but have limited experience. The only note (unfortunately) I have kept is below. ,---- | ;(add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'bbdb-define-all-aliases) ; BBDB 2.35 | (add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'bbdb-mail-aliases) ; BBDB 3.x `---- Also, I think the set-up has changed; see a recent message on the list on this. -- Johnny ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
