I've a problem with vmpc an bbdb when using VM 8.0.12 under GNU Emacs
23.1.50.1
(both in their default configuration).

Although <John...@nomail.org> is already in my bbdb file (note that
capital J
and D), whenever I reply to an email received from
<john...@nomail.org> then
the first time I'm asked for a vmpc action:

Actions for "john...@nomail.org" (end with RET)

Once typed in ("private" for example), I get the following error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-function bbdb-search)
bbdb-search((["foo" "" nil nil nil nil ("f...@bar.com") (... ...)
["foo" "foo" #<marker at 163 in contact.bbdb> nil]] ...) nil nil
"john...@nomail.org")
vmpc-save-profile-for-address("john...@nomail.org" ("private"))
vmpc-prompt-for-profile(always)
(progn (vmpc-prompt-for-profile (quote always)))
eval((progn (vmpc-prompt-for-profile (quote always))))
vmpc-run-actions()
vm-do-reply(nil nil 1)
vm-reply(1)
call-interactively(vm-reply nil nil)

This is kind of strange because bbdb-search had been previously
loaded.

This problem only happens the first time I reply to
<john...@nomail.org>. The second
time, since the email address and it corresponding profile just typed
in have been inserted into
vmpc-auto-profiles then vmpc does not require me to type it in again.
It now lets me
reply to the email correctly.

Does this mean that vmpc is not case sensitive?


I also noticed that vmpc does not seem to save the new profiles that
have been
added to vmpc-auto-profiles. <john...@nomail.org> does not get
stored in my bbdb file. Its profile is lost between two Emacs
sessions.

How can this be?

Last month I sent the above mail but did not get any feedback since
then.

If you've got a clue regarding this issue, please drop me a note. I
really need to figure out how to have the new vmpc profiles stored
correctly into my bbdb.

Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give.
