Gnus & BBDB

[Han Pilmeyer <han@uto.dec.com>]

Hi,

Can someone help me to configure  BBDB 1.51 under Gnus (5.4). At the
moment I only have the following in my .emacs:

;;; BBDB
(autoload 'bbdb         "bbdb-com" "Insidious Big Brother Database" t)
(autoload 'bbdb-name    "bbdb-com" "Insidious Big Brother Database" t)
(autoload 'bbdb-company "bbdb-com" "Insidious Big Brother Database" t)
(autoload 'bbdb-net     "bbdb-com" "Insidious Big Brother Database" t)
(autoload 'bbdb-notes   "bbdb-com" "Insidious Big Brother Database" t)
(autoload 'bbdb-insinuate-vm       "bbdb-vm"    "Hook BBDB into VM")
(autoload 'bbdb-insinuate-rmail    "bbdb-rmail" "Hook BBDB into RMAIL")
(autoload 'bbdb-insinuate-mh       "bbdb-mhe"   "Hook BBDB into MH-E")
(autoload 'bbdb-insinuate-gnus     "bbdb-gnus"  "Hook BBDB into GNUS")
(autoload 'bbdb-insinuate-sendmail "bbdb"       "Hook BBDB into sendmail")
(setq bbdb-always-add-addresses 't)
(setq bbdb-offer-save "never")
(setq bbdb-use-pop-up nil)
(add-hook 'gnus-startup-hook 'bbdb-insinuate-gnus)
(autoload 'bbdb/gnus-lines-and-from "bbdb-gnus")
(setq gnus-optional-headers 'bbdb/gnus-lines-and-from)

I can see that BBDB adds new addresses that I receive mail from to the
database. Which is what I want. But when sending mail I don't seem to
be able to use the database.

Ideally I would like to get:
- Mail address completion when sending mail (using e.g. M-TAB)
- Replacement of the address in a reply with the primary address
  from the database

I even looked in the FAQ, but that doesn't have my answer (yet).

Cheers
