Re: [O] [contacts] No completion in Gnus
I'm trying to get org-contacts completion working using Jambunathan's instructions... Jambunathan K kjambunat...@gmail.com writes: In such cases, typically there is an insinuate function. Yes, there is one (org-contacts-gnus-insinuate) I've added this function to my config and I'm still not seeing email address completion in Gnus. When I do an M-x org-contacts search for one of my contacts, I get the expected results. So while composing the mail, check the value of variable completion-at-point-functions and make sure you see some org-contacts related entries there. My completion-at-point-functions's value is (org-contacts-message-complete-function) Looks like the guts of completion happen in org-contacts-complete-name. So you can place your cursor on a message header and try doing M-: (org-contacts-complete-name) When I do this, I see: (5 8 (lambda (rest --cl-rest--) (apply #[... ÃÄJ \\ [G73503 G73502 args2 apply append] 5] (quote --args1--) (quote --fun--) --cl-rest--))) Is there anything else I'm missing? Thanks, Jason

I've backed out a dodgy change once or twice and this is so much easier to do in Git; even though there would have been other workarounds. Since I always expect unexpected things to happen when upgrading, I would rather go directly to Emacs 24 when its more or less stable already - and thats what it seems to be. I might use the opportunity to change from 32bit to 64bit, from Ubuntu to Arch Linux (which looks good) and from Gnome to Stump-WM. That looks like a nice combination to me. Cheers -- Thorsten
