bbdb + gnus: mail aliases

bbdb + gnus: mail aliases

[Rainer Thiel]

I can't seem to configure correctly what is described on
<http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BbdbMailingLists> (using one mail alias
for several people/mail addresses).  The problem apparently is that the function
bbdb-define-all-aliases is not defined, so that

    (add-hook 'mail-setup-hook 'bbdb-define-all-aliases)
    (add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'bbdb-define-all-aliases)

fails.

Can someone please tell me where the function bbdb-define-all-aliases is
supposed to be defined, ie, what to require to get it provided?

Many thanks in advance

Rainer

This question should probably go to emacs.help, or preferably bbdb.user,
instead of this list. But! Since we're here: I'm guessing you're using
BBDB version 3, but looking at docs for version 2. Try using this in
your init:

(bbdb-mail-aliases)
(bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message 'aliases)

Does that do it?
