(I'm not > aiming for much: I want the addresses of messages I read to be added > automatically in bbdb, and to be able to complete from them when writing > a message.) In BBDB 3, `bbdb-complete-mail' is the function that takes the string before point and tries to turn it into something suitable for the "To" header of the message. In message-mode, with BBDB activated, TAB is bound to something that eventually calls `bbdb-complete-mail' (actually uses `bbdb-complete-name', which is deprecated and aliased to `bbdb-complete-mail'). So, depending on how you're writing your messages in org, you could bind a convenient key to `bbdb-complete-mail', or overload TAB or something else so that it checks if you're in the appropriate field, and then does `bbdb-compelete-mail'. For adding records automatically to BBDB, you say you're using gnus, but also say you've moved your email reading to org. Where are you that you'd like to automatically add the record? In gnus, I've bound ";" to `bbdb-mua-edit-field-sender', and also have this: (setq bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p '(query . create)) If I hit ";" on a message, it will show me the records for all the addresses in the To and CC headers (possibly headers too), and if I don't have records for any of those headers, it will ask me if I want to create records. That's the way I like it, you can look at the possible values for `bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p' to get different behaviors. If you're actually reading your mail in org and want to create records from there, it might be more complicated, as the BBDB creation functions seem pretty tied to you being in a MUA of some sort… Hope that's useful, Eric -- GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.11) of 2012-07-23 on pellet 7.8.10 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 15+ messages in thread

Good question! Given that I keep up with the development version of org-mode, it's an even better question.

Wow, I had no idea all that was there -- I remember seeing some discussion about this earlier, but figured I wouldn't fix it until it was actually broken.

SUDO = # nothing, really There's a comment in default.mk showing this particular setting (since there are systems *cough* that don't have sudo). In general, you can override everything in default.mk via local.mk, but there are some things that you maybe shouldn't touch. But if you want to, you can.
