I think `report-emacs-bug' should identify itself in the message it creates. Anyway... John, are you (require[ing] 'bbdb) in order to use it within XEmacs? Your mail does not specify the bbdb-version (mine, e.g., is "2.00.02") you are using. Assuming 2.x, the right thing to do in .emacs or .../lisp/site-start.el is something like this: (bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message 'sc 'sendmail 'w3) You'll have to adjust the argument-list to include packages you want insinuated by BBDB. Make sure to comment all bbdb-related autoloads you may have in .emacs or .../lisp/site-start.el from times past. Then you're ready to M-x customize-group RET bbdb RET and save your customizations. HTH, Adrian
