VMPC does not store profiles correctly

[Uday Reddy]

Rene reports:

I've a problem with vmpc an bbdb when using VM 8.0.12 under GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (both in their default configuration).

Although <email address hidden> is already in my bbdb file (note that capital J and D), whenever I reply to an email received from <email address hidden> then the first time I'm asked for a vmpc action:

     Actions for "<email address hidden>" (end with RET)

Once typed in ("private" for example), I get the following error:

   Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-function bbdb-search)
     bbdb-search((["foo" "" nil nil nil nil ("<email address hidden>") (... ...)
["foo" "foo" #<marker at 163 in contact.bbdb> nil]] ...) nil nil
"<email address hidden>")
     vmpc-save-profile-for-address("<email address hidden>" ("private"))
     vmpc-prompt-for-profile(always)
     (progn (vmpc-prompt-for-profile (quote always)))
     eval((progn (vmpc-prompt-for-profile (quote always))))
     vmpc-run-actions()
     vm-do-reply(nil nil 1)
     vm-reply(1)
     call-interactively(vm-reply nil nil)

This is kind of strange because bbdb-search had been previously loaded.

This problem only happens the first time I reply to <email address hidden>. The second time, since the email address and it corresponding profile just typed in have been inserted into vmpc-auto-profiles then vmpc does not require me to type it in again. It now lets me reply to the email correctly.

Does this mean that vmpc is not case sensitive?

I also noticed that vmpc does not seem to save the new profiles that have been added to vmpc-auto-profiles. <email address hidden> does not get stored in my bbdb file. Its profile is lost between two Emacs sessions.

How can this be?

bbdb-search is a macro that is defined in bbdb-com. vm-pcrisis should require bbdb-com at compile time.
