Right, I will do something that way, but this is not perfect: IMO, *BBDB* should display records for John Doe (and maybe emacs-devel) but it only shows emacs-devel (unless I ask for all records by `bbdb-mua-display-all-recipients'). Basically, the sender of the message is _not_ emacs-devel, and BBDB thinks it is. -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on darwin Ns 10.3.2113 http://childpsy.net http://calmchildstories.com http://steingoldpsychology.com https://jihadwatch.org https://www.dhimmitude.org https://jij.org An elephant is a mouse with an operating system.
