First of all, are you using BBDB 3? If not, I'd strongly recommend the newest version. Then try these settings: (bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message) (bbdb-mua-auto-update-init 'gnus 'message) (setq bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p '(query . create)) (define-key gnus-summary-mode-map (kbd ":") 'bbdb-mua-display-records) I may be forgetting some relevant bit of config, but give that a shot. My setup sounds pretty much just like what you're after. Dunno about coloring the sender names, though... Eric
