YOU MUST EITHER ALWAYS DO THIS, OR NEVER DO IT. When you switch ;;; over, evaluate (bbdb-resort-database). ;;; * To make a file of mail-aliases, set bbdb-mail-alias-file to a filename, ;;; and source that file from your .mailrc. ;;; * Username-aliases are enabled by default. Set ;;; `bbdb-auto-username-alias' to nil if you don't want them. ;;; You can also use the function `bbdb-add-user-name-as-alias' to ;;; add such aliases manually. ;;; * The bbdb/calendar stuff is under development, and may not work. ;;; ;;; EXAMPLE: ;;; The following code could go in your .emacs: ;;; (add-hook 'bbdb-load-hook ;;; (function (lambda () ;;; (setq bbdb-mail-alias-file ;;; (expand-file-name "~/.mail_aliases") ;;; (require 'bbdb-bng) ;;; (bbdb-sort-by 'firstname)))) ;;; USE: ;;; If installed as above, these functions operate automatically. ;;; DEPENDENCIES: ;;; BBDB, of course. ;;; calendar.el and diary-lib.el are built into recent emacs versions. ;;; dates.el is available from me.
