Interfaces
==========

   The BBDB interfaces itself with several message-handling packages,
but certain parameters control its behavior depending on whether it is
being used from within a mail reader or a news reader.

   In all of these packages, two new keybindings will be added:

`:'
     (`bbdb/package-show-sender') Displays the BBDB entry corresponding
     to the author of the current message.  If there is none, you will
     be asked whether to create one.  The function called is
     `bbdb/package-show-sender', where `package' is either `gnus',
     `mh', `rmail', or `vm', depending on the mail or news program
     being used when the command is invoked.

`;'
     (`bbdb/package-annotate-sender') Lets you edit the `notes' field
     of the BBDB record corresponding to the sender of the current
     message.  If there is no record for the current author, you will be
     asked whether to create one.  The function called is
     `bbdb/package-annotate-sender', where `package' is either `gnus',
     `mh', `rmail', or `vm', depending on the mail or news program
     being used when the command is invoked.

   These keybindings (and several other features) will not be available
unless you call the appropriate "insinuation" function; Note:
Installation.

   It is possible to configure BBDB so that it automatically creates a
record when it sees a message from a person who is not in the database.
It is also possible to have text automatically added to the notes field
of the corresponding record depending on the contents of the message
headers.  Note: Customization Hooks.
