Works for me, as long as there's a specific "you've misspelled my name" action associated with the vcard (perhaps as the MIME type or something else), rather than "here is my contact info." Does Gnus+BBDB recognize vcards now, or is this entirely new code? I've never used vcards so I don't know much about their interaction with BBDB or Gnus. Ted
