You are probably better off having the entire file encrypted, and

I have been upgrading to XEmacs 19.13, and (ding) gnus, and in the
process, I have managed to delete my entire bbdb directory. That is,
lisp and info (not my .bbdb, otherwise, I would not be able to send this

Good point.
Here it is. Note that this will only handle matching while reading
email or news. This will not allow you to do completion based on an
old email (but that's the point, isn't it?
