Emacs: Someone who's even geekier about BBDB!

Emacs: Someone who’s even geekier about BBDB!

Posted on July 25th, 2008 by Sacha Chua

Remember all those tweaks I posted for working with contacts using Emacs’ Big Brother Database? John Sturdy has even cooler stuff. Check out his BBDB extensions. His bbdb-export-lists.el can divide people into different phone and address lists, and his bbdb-human-names.el will even try to address people properly. Clearly, I don’t talk to enough Reverend Doctors to require code like this. (And shouldn’t there be “Right Honorables” and “His Grace”s in there, too? ;) )
