1)Vm and bbdb. 2)Font lock in many frames.

[Saurabh Kapoor]

I use VM as my mail client under emacs and use bbdb integration with
it. I've got the following lines in my .vm which setup bbdb for vm.

(bbdb-initialize 'vm)
(bbdb-insinuate-vm)

Now, when i check email, for every message that I'm viewing and for
which there is an entry in the address book, a little bbdb window is
created which tells me the details of the contact. This takes up quite
some space on my screen. Is there a way to configure things such that
the window is created only if i want to? 

The second problem that I face is that when I use multiple frames, in
certain buffers, font lock stops working. Only very few keywords and
comment regions get fontified. Can this be fixed?

Thanks,

Saurabh

(setq bbdb-use-pop-up nil) to prevent automatic showing of the
window, then hit `:' to view it manually.

Probably, but that description is rather vague. Could you give a
recipe illustrating how to produce the problem from a named version of
Emacs started with -q --no-site-file?

I don't know, but an alternative would be to have it displayed in a

separate frame: see the special-display-buffer-names variable.
