Any hints? Yes, the problem is with mail-abbrevs.el from BBDB. There is a fix, but it'll break other things. In short, BBDB does not support FSF Emacs 19. To make things (almost) work, you can edit mail-abbrevs.el not to undefine expand-mail-aliases under Emacs 19 (just comment that one line out in there). I don't know if that is a good thing to change system wide... Hannu> And when I`m starting vm it says Hannu> Signalling: (error "mail-extr returned \"\" as name") Haven't seen this one. Perhaps you are using the mail-extr.el from FSF Emacs 19 instead of the one from BBDB. They are not identical. -- Kim / Internet: Kimmo.Suominen@lut.fi "That's what I think." / Bitnet: KIM@FINFILES
