All,
I am trying to migrate Wanderlust to Gnus. I want to keep contact
information in BBDB, but my experience with auto-create in Wanderlust
was that BBDB got filled with a lot of uninteresting and useless
emails. I know I can have auto-create filter out what's created, but I
would rather control when a record is created.
What I would like is this:
- If a e-mail arrives from (or cc'ing) know e-mails, it does the pop-up
window and shows the bbdb record.
- If the record or records are not in bbdb, by hitting the ':' key (or
whatever) it creates a record for me to edit.
- It would be nice also if the e-mail name and address in the header had
different colors based on whether they are known or unknown.
Does anyone have such a setup that they could share with a poor newbie?
Thanks.

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
