Hello A while ago I wrote a hack which is a multi language enhancement of the flyspell abbrev mechanism. The idea is to have for different languages different minor modes with different local-abbrev-table(s). This works fine for all mayor mode I have checked and it even works for message (or gnus-message)-mode) as long as bbdb-define-all-aliases is *not* involved. Once I use bbdb-define-all-aliases say via (add-hook 'gnus-message-setup-hook 'bbdb-define-all-aliases) Then the following strange things happen: - once I call gnus-summary-post-news then local-abbrev-table is set to Value: [ash* matlist.... That seems to me some table associated with the bbdb entries. Note that C-h v local-abbrev-table does not display the entries as they are shown via edit-abbrevs I now turn on say british-minor-mode. It seems that the local-abbrev-table is set correctly to the value of that minor mode. However abbrevs which are typed below --text follows this line-- are expanded according to the text-mode-abbrev-table! Even when I explicitly change again and again the minor mode and the local-abbrev-table. Also all corrections flyspell performs are saved in the text-mode-abbrev-table and not in the corresponding minor mode table. I say this again: if I don't set (add-hook 'gnus-message-setup-hook 'bbdb-define-all-aliases) then everything works as expected. Can somebody please enlighten me?! thanks Uwe Brauer _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
