Re: Problem with bbdb and wanderlust

[David Maus]

Hi,

Thanks for reporting!

I can confirm that there currently is a bug in bbdb-wl when used with a
"sticky summary". The proposed fix addresses this issue but only shifts
the bug to regular "non-sticky" summaries.

I'll take a close look over the weekend.

Best,
