BBDB completion where real name matches email

Hi Wanderlusters,

Email address completion using BBDB works very nicely, so I can hit
TAB in the To: of the email, and it completes the email.  So

To: sguest<TAB> completes to Simon Guest <sguest <at> somewhere.org>

But if the email address matches the name, it behaves differently.
e.g.

To: simon.guest<TAB> completes to simon.guest <at> somewhere.org

and I really want Simon Guest <simon.guest <at> somewhere.org>

Now this seems to have been deliberately programmed by the Wanderlust
implementers.  Any ideas on how to disable the special function?

cheers,
Simon

How about this;

To: simon.guest <Esc+Tab>

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I just tried that.  It didn't seem to
help.  Initially, Esc-TAB was bound to flyspell-auto-correct-word.
Once I turned off flyspell mode, I found Esc-TAB was bound to
bbdb-complete-name, same as TAB.  That behaved for me as described
previously.

cheers,
Simon

Hi Simon,

A little poking around in the docstrings reveals:

  bbdb-dwim-net-address-allow-redundancy

which seems to do what you want if set to t.

refile to multiple folders

Hi,

is there any way to specify two folders where matching messages should
be refiled? My intention is to use this as a sort of backup
mechanism. Every time I move a message to one of the folders I keep
locally in the hard-disk in my laptop I would like an additional copy
of that same message going into a folder which is actually in a remote
IMAP server. Anything wrong with this? Should I rethink in a different
way?

thanks,
 Rodrigo

Hi Erik,

Yes it does, that works a treat.

I see now if I'd done apropos-variable bbdb, I might have found that
myself.  Many thanks for investigating on my behalf!

cheers,
Simon

I usually do 
(1) Mark
(2) move cursor
(3) r O
    O is bound to wl-summary-copy, 
    and meaning range wl-summary-copy
(4) x

This will copy the mails specified by range.
And they remains after 'x'.
Do you want more than that, kind of automatic ?

I agree that just copying is something useful I missed to considered
before..

Duplicate messages since move to gentei.org?

Since the rehosting to wl-en <at> ml.gentei.org, I am receiving each list message
twice.  Is this just me, or is this a general problem with the list?

cheers,
Simon
