Yes I plan to switch to BZR and in fact use it internally already for years. But my hacking activity was knocked out by the last few months ...

Probably it should not display the message in case of t, as it contradicts the "quiet" in the name of the variable ... well the code says ;; ignore name mismatches? ;; NB 'quiet' means 'don't ask', not 'don't mention' but displaying a message is not really quiet ... and if t is returned by a function then it is in fact suppressed. The defcustom also has an example how to suppress it only for records with the readonly field. Cheers Robert - Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!

noticing alternative names
Right now, BBDB in Gnus will ask me, if it notices a new name for an exsiting e-mail address, if I want to add the name (y/n), then if I want to add it as an alternative (y/n). I think it would be better if that prompt was: Do you want to use NAME instead of OLD, as an alternative to it, ignore it from now on, or do nothing (y/a/i/n)? The permanent ignore can be done with a customize variable call, for instance. If this already exists in some form, let me know.
