BBDB
****
BBDB is a rolodex-like database program for GNU Emacs. BBDB stands
for Insidious Big Brother Database, and is not, repeat, _not_ an
obscure reference to the Buck Rogers TV series.
It provides the following features:
* Integration with mail and news readers, with little or no
interaction by the user:
* easy (or automatic) display of the record corresponding to
the sender of the current message;
* automatic creation of records based on the contents of the
current message;
* automatic addition of data to arbitrary fields of the record
corresponding to the sender of the current message.
* Listing all records which match a regular expression;
* Listing all records which match a regular expression in a
particular field (`company' or `notes,' for example);
