Hi, I suppose this must be an FAQ bit I can't solve it. How do I bind
M-t to bbdb-complete-name in the message buffer? I found this example
online and added to my .gnus:
(add-hook 'gnus-startup-hook 'bbdb-insinuate-gnus)
(setq mail-setup-hook 'bbdb-insinuate-sendmail)
(add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'bbdb-insinuate-message)
(defun bbdb-insinuate-message ()
"Call this function to hook BBDB into the message package."
(define-key message-mode-map "\M-\t" 'bbdb-complete-name))
;;;;;;;;;
But M-t is bound to aspell...help? (In case this makes any difference,
I'm starting a message with 'm').
I would also like point to be after the colon in the first line ("To:
<point>") -- how can I manage this?
Thanks,
Jim

BBDB completion is already done via TAB, so why need a different
binding?

It is for me when I press `m'.
Bye, Reiner.

Hi Reiner, thanks for that...I thought you needed to set it up yourself.

There was something fishy going on with message buffers, but it's
fixed. (The problem was this, that I pasted from somewhere:
;;save copies of sent mail
(setq gnus-message-archive-group
'(concat "mail." (format-time-string "%Y-%m")))
which sounds nice but was giving this error whenever I opened a message
buffer:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument listp concat)
gnus-inews-insert-archive-gcc()
run-hooks(message-header-setup-hook)
message-setup-1(((To . "") (Subject . "")) nil nil)
message-setup(((To . "") (Subject . "")) nil nil nil nil)
message-mail()
gnus-group-mail(nil)
call-interactively(gnus-group-mail nil nil)

Thanks,
Jim

The Gnus manual has lots of examples for `gnus-message-archive-group',
see (info "(gnus)Archived Messages"):
,----[ (info "(gnus)Archived Messages") ]
| How about storing all news messages in one file, but storing all mail
| messages in one file per month:

| (setq gnus-message-archive-group
| '((if (message-news-p)
| "misc-news"

Bye, Reiner.

:-) I sometimes give this advice myself, now I just need to follow it.

I've been doing that for 21 years.
How else would I ever get my emacs configured?

hehe and ditto here... but I might add that many of mine were
performed on posts of yours (Reiner). And thanks for all of that
