Hi all,

I have upgraded to bbdb3 about three months ago and all was well until recently.  Now, vm fails to automatically add all new entries to my
.bbdb file. It used to do so and I have no idea what I have changed.

My bbdb_customise.el file contains only these lines:

;;--------------------------------------------------------------------
;;customisations for mail/vm/bbdb
;;--------------------------------------------------------------------

(require 'bbdb)
;(setq bbdb-file "~/.emacs.d/bbdb")
(setq bbdb-file "~/.bbdb")
(load-library "bbdb-spam.el")
;(require 'bbdb-com)
;(require 'bbdb-autoloads)
;(bbdb-insinuate-vm)
;(setq bbdb/mail-auto-create-p t)
;(setq bbdb-expand-mail-aliases t)
;;;;;; I want to see the BBDB buffer only when I ask for it.
;(setq bbdb-pop-up nil)
;(setq bbdb-use-pop-up nil)
(setq bbdb-completion-display-record nil)
(setq bbdb-allow-duplicates t)
(setq bbdb-message-all-addresses t)
(setq bbdb-update-records-p 'create)

There are no entries beginning with bbdb- in any of my other files such as .vm or .emacs.

What am I missing please?
