<h2>What is The Insidious Big Brother Database?</h2>
-
- <p>The Insidious Big Brother Database (BBDB) is a contact
- management utility created by <a
- href="http://www.jwz.org/">Jamie Zawinski</a> for use with
- Emacs. It is tightly integrated with several mail and news
- readers (see below), allowing it to create database entries
- directly from mail and news messages. As is usual with
- applications for Emacs, this record creation can be configured
- in many ways, ranging from a boolean create/don't create
- setting to creation based on the result of a user-supplied
- function.</p>
