Re: status of bbdb3 support in wl?

well, stranger yet

in a to: field, i type

   wifeTAB

and, instead of

   Wife Name <[email protected]>

it expands to

   Wife Name <[email protected]>

which is not in the .bbdb file at all.  though i think she may have used
that address many a year ago.

this is stealing your config cruft, only 1/3 of which i have sussed out
so far
