I myself do not know anything about WL. I got the code that BBDB uses to interact with WL from David Maus, whom I include in this message. However, if I set up BBDB using the following code with my-mua bound to gnus or vm, BBDB will query to auto-update the database whenever I read a message, where the sender is not yet known to BBDB. (require 'bbdb-loaddefs "/path/to/bbdb/lisp/bbdb-loaddefs.el") (setq my-mua 'gnus) (bbdb-initialize my-mua) (bbdb-mua-auto-update-init my-mua) (setq bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p '(query . create) bbdb-update-records-p 'query bbdb-mua-auto-update-p 'query) Can you reproduce that this works for you as expected with Gnus? If the BBDB interface with WL does not work as it should, could someone look into this who is actually using WL and knows more about it than me? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ bbdb-info@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/
