Subject: display FROM based on BBDB
Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:17:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k3dtifmg.fsf@gilgamesch.quim.ucm.es> (raw)

Hello

I just found out about
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-se/BbdbAndGnusAuthorNames
in which it is described how gnus displays the from field based on the
Author entry in BBDB.

There seems to be to possibilities 

    - adding %uB  to the  gnus-summary-line-format

    -  or using the functions the author described.

None worked for me.

My gnus-summary-line-format is 
%U%R%z%I%N %(%[ %-10,10n%]%) %-10,10~(form (rfc2047-decode-string (gnus-extra-header 'To)))@  [%-25,25s%] %D %k %L   

I tried to add %uB which seems to do what I want, at least partially but
adds and unwanted + in front of the authors BBDB name. 

I tried out 
%U%R%z%I%N %(%[ %-10,10%uB%]%) %-10,10~(form (rfc2047-decode-string (gnus-extra-header 'To)))@  [%-25,25s%] %D %k %L   

The code which is published in emacswiki does not work for since emacs
complains about the  use of string= which only allows 2 arguments but the
author seems to have used 4. 

Does anybody use  %uB and if so how?

thanks

Uwe Brauer
