Hello,
I am just wondering if there is a way to get org mode to stop playing
with bbdb. Because I use both gnus and org, it is a bit of a hassle to
have org always pulling bbdb away from gnus when I create an agenda. I
have taken out all reference to bbdb and org in my start-up files. I
don't use anniversary any longer (could not get it to work properly with
version 3 of bbdb, despite some help from the list) and really don't see
why org needs it. Any idea of how to turn it off?
Thanks, Aric

Hi Aric:
I have no problems with bbdb (using 3 now, but 2 before) and org-mode.

I have no idea what you are talking about here. Please give an example.

To display it in a Agenda view. Again I have no problems have. All I
have to do is to put:
%%(org-bbdb-anniversaries)
In one of my agenda files.

I'm also not sure what you mean by "org pulling bbdb away from gnus" --
are you running two separate instances of emacs?

Yes, that is precisely what I am doing. I tend to work in the Emacs
instance running org mode and use the other just for email. Too much
blocking if I do it all in one instance. Plus, previously there were
lots of crashes, but things do appear more stable now.
Thanks, Aric

Thanks Charles. I may try this again. I have had lots of issues moving
From v2 to v3 of bbdb. Still problems with Gnus, but workable at this
point.

Ah, check the variable bbdb-read-only then -- it's for precisely this
situation. If you set it to 't' in the emacs running org, it will
prevent clashes (though obviously you won't be able to edit the bbdb
file).
