Subject: A bug(?) in pGnus .42; questions about gnus mime handling

Message-ID: <8790hhaf4c.fsf@danann.net> (raw)

Hi.

Using Gnus 0.42 and posting styles I managed to (somehow) contrive to have
the variable user-mail-address set to nil;  this caused Gnus to fail doing a 
string comparison when loading gnus-sum.el

I don't know if this is a real bug or not, hence this post rather than a
direct bug report.  I will happily submit one if that would be useful.

Secondly, I am currently working on a utility to automatically import vCard
records into the BBDB when using Gnus.  I do have one question about this
though - what is the best place to hook my code into Gnus?

I want to be able to read as a string the vCard record from the article,
then pass that on to a nice generic function;  I am currently thinking that
a hook on gnus-article-display-hook would be the best solution.  I would
like to know if there is a better way to do this that I have not seen,
however.

As a side note, I want this to run automatically when there is a vCard
record, not just when I elect to view that entity.

NB. Lars (and other developers) - you guys are doing a great job, thanks.

	Daniel Pittman
