2003-11-07 Thread Plesch Andreas
I start to use BBDB with VM and was looking for a utility to get my pine
 addressbook into the bbdb database. Since I could not find anything
googling and looking through the mailing lists, I came up with a
somewhat simple but reasonably functional awk script. For it to work
.addressbook has to be massaged somewhat with awk and sed. Here is the
script:

$ awk -v RS="\n   " -v ORS="" '{print}' .addressbook | sed -e 's/"//g'
-e 's/)//g' -e 's/(//g' | awk -f pine2bbdb.awk > .bbdb

The first awk part joins the strange .addressbook line breaks within a
record. That is a \n and 3 spaces. The sed gets rid of quotes and
parentheses which .bbdb would not like. pine2bbdb.awk follows for copy
and paste:

#(c) Andreas Plesch 2003, feel free to use and distribute
BEGIN{
# pine uses tabs to delimit
  FS = "\t"
print ";;; file-version: 6"
# two new info-fields are introduced to preserve data
print ";;; user-fields: (pine-fcc pine-nick pine-comments)"}
{
nick = $1
name = $2
address = $3
fcc = $4
comments = $5
# name handling, with and without comma
  if (name ~ ",") {
split (name, sname, ",")
firstname = substr(sname[2],2)
lastname = sname[1]
  }
  else {
l = split(name, sname, " ")
lastname = sname[l]
firstname = substr(name, 1, length(name)-length(lastname)-1)
  }
  time = strftime("%F")
# deal with multiple email addresses which are mailing lists in pine
  n = split(address, saddress, ",")
# each address gets an entry with the same mail-alias
# does not deal with addresses which are other aliases
  for (i in saddress){
  print "[\""firstname"\" \""lastname"\" nil nil nil nil
(\""saddress[i]"\") ((notes . \"from\
 pine\") (pine-fcc . \""fcc"\") (pine-nick . \""nick"\") (pine-comments\
. \""comments"\") (creation-date . \""time"\") (time-stamp\
. \""time"\") (mail-alias . \""nick"\")) nil]"
  }}

There are configuration instructions in the comments at the top of
feedmail.el.  It should be just a matter of setting appropriate
variables in your environment.  It would be very unusual to have a
need to modify feedmail.el itself.

In the particular case of feedmail-spray-via-bbdb, that's not a
function you'd be invoking directly.  Instead, you'd set that up like
this:

  (setq feedmail-spray-address-fiddle-plex-list 'feedmail-spray-via-bbdb)

and (setq feedmail-enable-spray t), and spraying will happen.  The
recipe for how to set up spraying is described in the documentatation
for the spray-related functions and variables, though I'm sure it
takes a little homework and headscratching to figure it out.  Since I
thought most people would only like to do this once in a while, I made
it so you just do the fiddle-plex thing (above) and basically forget
about it.  When you want to spray out a message, type * at feedmail's
interactive prompt and it will temporarily enter spray mode and
reprocess just that one message.

If you've already gone through the config stuff in feedmail.el and
are still stuck, email me directly.

2002-01-18 Thread Rooke, Philip

Hi,

I just started using bbdb a couple of weeks ago; thanks for
everyone's efforts I think it's excellent.

There seems to be a really minor display bug in 2.34.  The following
temp fix seems to work for me - no promises bearing in mind that I'm
just learning elisp, bbdb (and for that matter diff...).

Regards,

Phil

Hello All,

I get the following error when trying to use bbdb with vm...

Autoloading failed to define function

I've got the following in .vm:

I'm a bit of a newbie and I'm not sure what is wrong.

Any suggestions???

1994-01-10 Thread Piet van Oostrum

The new VM 5.41 doesn't work correctly with bbdb's mail-abbrevs.el in emacs
v18, because the latter checks for the current mail map being
mail-mode-map. Now VM uses its own vm-mail-mode map.

The following lines in the mail-abbrevs code give the problem:

;(or (and mail-mode-map (eq (current-local-map) mail-mode-map))
;   (error "shut 'er down clancy, she's suckin' mud"))

(without the comment, that is).

I commented these out and the thing seems to work again, although I have my
suspicions. The problem might be that mail-mode-map is nconced to
vm-mail-mode-map and is changed by bbdb.

I agree.  I think it is annoying and dangerous that the .bbdb file
is an editable in the buffer list.  I wish it wasn't in the buffer
list at all!

Another thing I find annoying is how addresses are auto-completed.
Generally, I may have one address that should always be the sending
address to a given person.  However, I may have several addresses
listed as *they* may send mail to me from other machines.  Now when
I do auto-completion on an address I'm sending to, I have to 
differentiate between that various addresses.

I think it would be useful if auto-completion only considered the
default address of each entry.  (Unless, there is no completion?)

Just a thought...

I'm using the latest bbdd and it seems to work nicely.  However, there
is a new feature I haven't figured out how to turn off.

Whenever I bbdb-complete, the *BBDB* window pops up and seems to add
the completed entry to whatever was there before.  Interesting, but I
might tire of it staying there.  grepping for pop-up didn't seem to
help (in particular, bbdb-use-pop-up is nil).

Another problem I have is getting bbdb/gnus-header-prefer-real-names
to take effect in gnus 3.15.  However, I have not looked into it
closely enough to tell whether it is my fault or not (it probably is).

Thanks.
