Hi Steve,
This is what I currently have in init.el for bbdb 3 - I'm using John
Wiegely's wonderful use-package.el nowadays, but I'm sure you can weed
out the useful stuff. Note especially
1. The added argument to bbdb-initialize
2. The absence of (require 'bbdb-anniv) - no longer necessary.
Then if you add the 'anniversary:' field to a record thus
anniversary: 17/02/1997 Discovered Gnus! Life began!
that should show up in the org agenda - though you may need to restart emacs.
;;;; BBDB and BBDB-ext
;; Now at version 3
(use-package bbdb
:config
(progn
(bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message 'anniv)
(bbdb-mua-auto-update-init 'gnus)
(setq bbdb-file "~/.emacs.d/.bbdb")
(setq bbdb-complete-mail-allow-cycling t)
;; control pop-up and it's size
(setq bbdb-mua-pop-up t)
(setq bbdb-mua-pop-up-window-size 0.1)
(setq bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p '(query . create))
(setq bbdb-message-all-addresses t)
(add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'bbdb-mail-aliases)
(add-hook 'diary-list-entries-hook 'bbdb-anniv-diary-entries)
))
(use-package bbdb-ext
:defer t)
Good luck!
