Re: interactive function which could call an interactive function with arguments.

[snip] Right this indeed what I wanted. Thanks. So call-interactively was the function I was looking for, which was used in the original function grrrr However thinking a little for a while I think this approach is not very comfortable. I have a function, called, bbdb-change-ispell, which sets the ispell dictionary (and the abbrev-table) according to a bbdb field, (ispell-dictionary) in the corresponding bbdb entry. bbdb-change-ispell, is then inserted into the bbdb-mail-abbrev-expand-hook. However not all bbdb entries have the ispell-dictionary field. So the checking function should be something like this (defun bbdb-check-dict () (interactive) (unless ispell-dictionary (call-interactively #'bbdb-select-dict-new))) I could put that function also into the bbdb-mail-abbrev-expand-hook but it essential that it gets executed *after* bbdb-change-ispell, but I am never sure which functions gets executed first in the hook ,---- | `bbdb-mail-abbrev-expand-hook' is a variable declared in Lisp. | -- loaded from "bbdb-com" | | Value: (bbdb-change-ispell add-bbdbadpt-gcc add-sigadapt) `---- it seems that first bbdb-change-ispell is excecuted but I am never sure. So I thought to advice message-goto-message and execute bbdb-check-dict after message-goto-body. However that was a nightmare since message-goto-body was called by a zillions of functions. So I had to write up my-message-goto-body and call bbdb-check-dict.
