Using the BBDB with Supercite
-----------------------------

   The BBDB can be used with Supercite to store attributions with BBDB
records.  Normally, when a non-default attribution is entered for a
given message, the entered attribution is used for that message, and is
then discarded.  When the BBDB-Supercite augmentation is enabled, the
non-default attribution will be added to the record (if any) for the
entity being cited.  This poor explanation sounds complicated, but it's
not.  If a message from `Jamie Zawinski <jwz@netscape.com>' is being
replied to, Supercite will, by default, suggest the citation `Jamie'.
If the non-default citation `jwz' is entered, Supercite can save it
with the BBDB record for `Jamie Zawinski' in the `attribution' field.

   The field used can be changed by changing the value of
`bbdb/sc-attribution-field'.
