This is pulled from the bbdb manual: ----- 1.1.4.1 Initializing BBDB support for Gnus To take advantage of the Gnus features of the BBDB, add one of the following forms to your Emacs configuration file: For Gnus 3.14 or older: (add-hook 'gnus-Startup-hook 'bbdb-insinuate-gnus) For Gnus 3.15 or newer: (add-hook 'gnus-startup-hook 'bbdb-insinuate-gnus) bbdb-insinuate-gnus adds bindings for the default keys to Gnus and configures Gnus to notify the BBDB when new messages are loaded. This notification is required if the BBDB is to be able to display BBDB entries for messages displayed in Gnus. ---- although I have these lines in my .gnus.el: (require 'bbdb) (require 'bbdb-gnus) (bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message) (setq gnus-summary-line-format "%U%R%4d [%4k](%2t): %I%(%[%-16,16uB%]%) %s\n") Cheers, Dan -- -------------- Dan Griswold Carrollton, TX --------------
