  • Re: Using BBDB in a normal buffer

    With GNU Emacs macros you probably can.

    But I am a user of EBDB (I have never had BBDB).

    I just want to know if it is possible to use BBDB in a normal buffer to create just a list of names based on the mail aliases and output to the buffer I'm working on. I use BBDB integrated with gnus or rmail but it
    would be very useful for me if I could used it also in a normal text
    buffer.

    Presumably the buffer that it creates for displaying its results is
    accessible like any Emacs buffer, and you can use the usual buffer
    commands to extract its contents, even if it is readonly.
