bbdb-complete-name in to:, cc:, bcc: fields only

bbdb-complete-name in to:, cc:, bcc: fields only

[Ian Swainson]

Hi All,

Long shot this one.

I have bbdb complete name setup thusly in my .emacs:

(define-key message-mode-map [(tab)] 'bbdb-complete-name)

Is there any variable I can check so that the binding only applies when I am in
an address field?

Cheers,
Ian

mail-abbrev-in-expansion-header-p is the one. The code is,

(defun my-bbdb-tab-complete ()
  (interactive)
  (if (mail-abbrev-in-expansion-header-p)
      (bbdb-complete-name)
    (message-tab)))

(define-key message-mode-map [tab] 'my-bbdb-tab-complete)

;; Name completion hack
(define-key message-mode-map "\t"
  (lambda ()
    (interactive)
    (if (mail-abbrev-in-expansion-header-p)
	(bbdb-complete-name)
      (message-tab))))

(Shameless plug alert.)

There is message-x.el which allows you to configure the TAB key to do
various things in various headers, and something else in the body of a
message.
