I had patched mail-extr to return ("joe" "joe@some.where") in response to addresses of the from "jose@some.where" (or indeed, in response to "Joe "). However, this breaks bbdb, since you get lots of bogus matches due to bbdb matching on a single name alone. I backed out the patch a few months back. If you want to play with it, let me know, I might be able to dig it up. Also, gnus-extract-address-components needs to be updated to handle addresses of these two forms correctly: a) "" b) " (I. Use. Periods here)" In a) the <> is redundant, but people do it anyway. In b) the Name should be in double quotes instead of a comment, but people do this quite infrequently as well. -Sudish ------- Start of forwarded message ------- From: Brian Edmonds Subject: Re: BBDB with GNUS5.0 To: info-bbdb@cs.uiuc.edu Date: Mon, 4 Sep 1995 17:43:23 -0700 >>>>> "Jack" == Jack Vinson writes: Jack> There is an automatic way to get gnus-bbdb, but I've forgotten it.

You can get it on the web at http://www.cs.ubc.ca/spider/edmonds/gnus-bbdb.el or you can send mail to majordomo@edmonds.home.cs.ubc.ca with the following line in the body: get misc gnus-bbdb.el The current release is 1.19 -- if you get an older one, let me know, as my RCS files have been a bit out of sync lately.

I'm rather behind and am still running an early 0.9x release of ding. I'll upgrade to 5.0 RSN, and when I do will be bringing gnus-bbdb up to date. Jack's summary of the installation steps to follow was concise and correct. Jack> And the mark has been changed from "*" to "+" The code I got from Sudish that eventually morphed into gnus-bbdb used + so that stuck (or changed it gratuitously, I forget :). I've since tried *, but I find + sticks out a bit better visually, so I've seen no particular reason to change the default. -- o Brian Edmonds (occasional MSc student) \\_/\_, Applications Analyst, University of British Columbia, Canada (*) (*) See http://www.cs.ubc.ca/spider/edmonds for me and my hobbies ------- End of forwarded message -------
