I had made my own function for doing completion using Peter Galbraith's e-mh-alias package. As I am cleaning out the last vestiges of MH in my Gnus usage, last week I decided to give bbdb a try. I reset message-x to use bbdb-complete-name for the to and cc headers. One thing I saw in the bbdb info that interested me was the ability to use a mail-alias property to maintain mailing lists. Unfortunately I can't seem to get bbdb-complete-name to recognize the names I put in these aliases, so while I can do completion/alias expansion on individuals, my lists are not available to me. I realize I could just make separate entries for the lists, but that seems wrong somehow... On another note, I don't understand how the bbdb auto-creation feature is supposed to work. I've added a call to my gnus-select-group-hook such that a few of my nnml groups have bbdb/news-auto-create-p turned on. I can verify that that works (that is, the variable is properly set to t in those groups, nil in all the others). However, when I read new messages in these groups, nothing seems to happen with bbdb. I can type : or ; and be prompted to create an entry for the current message. What am I missing to get the automatic stuff? Or am I just misunderstanding what's supposed to happen? Any advice greatly appreiciated. -- Dave Goldberg Post: The Mitre Corporation\MS B305\202 Burlington Rd.\Bedford, MA 01730 Phone: 617-271-3887 Email: dsg@mitre.org
