Re: Wanderlust and BBDBv3

I managed to get it work more or less as well, except for one thing.  I wanted
BBDB to query me to create a new entry when a message arrive from an address not
already in the address book (and not in bbdb-ignore-message-alist), so I set

(setq bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p '(query . create)
      bbdb-update-records-p 'query
      bbdb-mua-auto-update-p 'query)

As I understood from the (mostly useless) documentation, these variables
determine how BBDB3 behaves when it notices a new address.  Automatically
updating addresses and/or querying the user used to work in BBDB2.

However, these values seem to make no difference.  For example, I see no
difference in behavior when bbdb-update-records-p is set to 'create (like in
your setup) or 'query (like in mine).  I asked on the BBDB3 mailing list but got
no reply.

I've learned to live with having to add addresses manually.  I think BBDB3 might
be considered abandonware, and on the long run WL users may want to look for an
alternative.  Perhaps Wanderlust's own addressbook?
