BBDB buffer and Gnus

BBDB buffer and Gnus

[Ian Swainson]

Hi,

I have the following Gnus layout:

(gnus-add-configuration
 '(article
   (horizontal 1.0
               (vertical 0.3 (group 1.0))
               (vertical 1.0
                         (summary 0.28 point)
                         (article 1.0)
                         ("*BBDB*" 6)
))))

Is there any way I can only show the BBDB buffer if a BBDB entry exists for the
person whose mail I am reading?

Cheers,
Ian

I found the following way:

(gnus-add-configuration
 '(article
   (horizontal 1.0
               (vertical 0.3 (group 1.0))
               (vertical 1.0
                         (summary 0.28 point)
                         (article 1.0)
                         (if (bbdb/gnus-update-record) '("*BBDB*" 6))
))))

The function bbdb/gnus-update-record returns non-nil if there is a
record for the current entry.
