I think there's a mail-to-news feed that's not particularly filtered
at all.

gnu.emacs.bug is even worse. It is almost all spam. Someone seems to
have made a marketing decision that people who use Emacs are males who
need special help in getting erections. Maybe they know something I
don't.

I find that emacsclient works almost instantaneously. Getting Emacs
up is overrated.

I've pretty much settled into Gnus now, to the point where everything
else feels silly, so I thought I'd start adding BBDB integration.
It seems that the key binding for name completion is M-TAB. That's
just...amazing. Really. The fact that Emacs and BBDB come from a
UNIX-centric world doesn't begin to explain that, since MS-Windows is
not the only platform where that's used for windows switching. It's
also true in WindowMaker (which I use), KDE, Gnome, and if I remember
correctly, CDE (which kills any idea that maybe they were only thinking
of commercial UNIX).
And the Info docs say that you can't rebind it.
I did find an example online of how you might rebind the key for
Wanderlust, but the example seemed fairly specific to Wanderlust.
What's the typical way Gnus users get around this these days? Also, I
should note that I'm running BBDB 2.35 and not the new 3.x rewrite,
since the web site warns loudly that it's alpha alpha alpha! (Should I
be running 3.x anyway?)
Really...even in the 1990's, in the days of HPUX/CDE workstations and
Motif X11 toolkits...Alt-Tab? Really? When was that ever a good idea
for an application key binding?

Completion sucks anyway. Setup aliases and type the
aliases instead: style, precision, speed.
Like this:
;; For example, for mail addresses, .mailrc can look
;; like this:
;;
;; alias john "John DiFool <difool@incal.com>"
;; alias kate "Katherine Moss <mossy@km.com>"
;; alias friends john kate
;;
;; For Usenet groups, setup ordinary abbrevs:
;;
;; (let*((write '( ... )) ; other abbrevs
;; (groups '(("geh" "gnu.emacs.help")
;; ("geg" "gnu.emacs.gnus")
;; ; ...
;; ("ges" "gnu.emacs.sources")))
;; (both (append write groups)))
;; (define-abbrev-table 'global-abbrev-table both) )

This rant is a waste of energy - just set the keys to
whatever you want.

Really? Can you quote that?

All my problems went away today when I upgraded to v3. I had been
trying to use v2, since officially the newer one is "unstable."

http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/bbdb.html#SEC83
In bug #1, "M-TAB conflicts with ispell" (and they could have also
mentioned, the window-switching keys of half the desktop managers in
existence, but they didn't mention that), they say:
"The suggested workarounds are to rebind the ispell key (the BBDB
binding is not configurable at this time)."
It doesn't matter because I think all of this refers to v2. BBDB v3
doesn't have a proper Info manual yet, and it tab completes with just
TAB, no M-TAB needed.
Looking forward to the v3 manual!
