Dear Roland, you may indeed be right that all the changes in BBDB 3 cannot be cured by defining aliases. However, the users that are trying out BBDB 3 need to make it work with the other MUA's. So, wherever aliases can help, they should be used, in my opinion. Coming back to Rene's original query, the following aliases seem to be enough to make BBDB 3 work with vm-pcrisis.
