So do I, even if I miss some things: - mainly, the auto-discovery of new emails: when you receive a mail from a new email address but from a known sender name, bbdb2 proposed to add the email address in the DB; not bbdb3 - gnus-public is not supported anymore. Apart from that, bbdb3 is OK. And both of the above points are not supported either IIUC in org-contacts. Sad. Best regards, Seb -- Sebastien Vauban
