Re: [VM] vm & bbdb

[Michael]

Robert, you were right. I use a couple different systems and it was
carried over. I had no idea that line was in my .vm :)
Thank you both for helping me. I am now able to start VM.
I've been on the maillist for some time, but am very much a newbie so
trying to learn as I go.

Your initial post suggests that you have a require of bbdb-autoloads, that
doesn't exist in bbdb 3. I have

(bbdb-initialize 'vm 'message 'gnus)

And I think that is more or less it!

Though I added

(setq bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p '(query . create))
;; Make sure we look at every address in a message and not only the
;; first one
(setq bbdb-message-all-addresses t)
;; use ; on a message to invoke bbdb interactively
(add-hook
 'vm-summary-mode-hook
 (lambda ()
   (define-key gnus-summary-mode-map (kbd ";") 'bbdb-mua-edit-field)))

to get some things back from what I was used to with bbdb 2

You might need to ensure that when you built bbdb, it found and built the
vm interface code.

Ok, thanks Uday.
This leads to another question. 
With the newer vm and bbdb, what is required for bbdb to work with vm?
When I use gnus, bbdb works fine, so I don't know what different
customization to use for vm.
I've tried to use what I find via google, but obviously have something
wrong.

Thanks
Mike

Most likely a problem with bbdb or your customizations. VM itself doesn't
know anything about bbdb.

[VM] vm & bbdb

[Michael]

I am trying to start vm and I get this error: 
Required feature 'bbdb-autoloads' was not provided

Is this a problem with vm or bbdb?
I am running Debian Testing, vm-8.2.0b, and bbdb v3

Thank you,
Mike
