Return Attributes
-----------------

   Directory servers may be configured to return a default set of
attributes for each record matching a query if the query specifies none.
The variable `eudc-default-return-attributes' controls the return
attributes you want to see, if different from the server defaults.

 - Variable: eudc-default-return-attributes
     A list of the default attributes to extract from directory
     entries.  If set to the symbol `all' then all available attributes
     are returned. A value of `nil', the default, means to return the
     default attributes as configured in the server.

   The server may return several matching records to a query. Some of
the records may however not contain all the attributes you requested.
You can discard those records.

 - User Option: eudc-strict-return-matches
     If non-`nil', entries that do not contain all the requested return
     attributes are ignored.  Default is `t'.
