script versions (upload new version)| created by |  | Stefano Zacchiroli |  |  |  | script type |  | utility |  |  |  | description |  | Functions and various mode mappings for querying lbdb (http://www.spinnaker.de/lbdb/) when using Vim to edit mails and mail headers, for example from Mutt (http://www.mutt.org). 
 Using this utility lines like the following appearing in a Vim buffer:
 To: name surname, name2 surname2
 can be automatically converted to lines like
 To: My Friend <foo@example.com>, My Other Friend <bar@example.com>
 by querying lbdb.
 
 When the expansion of a given contact is ambiguous (i.e. it corresponds to more than one contact) the user is interactively asked to choose among them.
 
 The utility can be used in various ways:
 - in normal mode typing <Leader>lb: the current recipient line will be expanded (i.e. all expandable short names will be expanded to full name/address pairs)
 - in insert mode typing <Leader>lb: same as above but without leaving insert mode
 - in line visual mode typing <Leader>lb: same as above but all the visually selected line will be subject to expansion
 - in visual mode typing <Leader>lb: only the short names contained in the visually selected text will be subject to expansion

 I'm (now) aware that vimscript #388 is older than this script of mine and provide similar features. But this script is strictly more powerful (YMMV of course). For example it works in various modes (visual/insert/normal/...), is able to substitute more contacts at once, and takes into account the semantics of recipient lines. E.g.: if you try to expand "name surname" (without double quotes) the plugin looks up for both of them, while vimscript #388 will look up only for the part under the courses, leading more likely to ambiguous answers.
 |  |  |  | install details |  | A matter of taste. Personally I drop lbdbq.vim in my ~/.vim/ directory and from  ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/mail.vim I do source ~/.vim/lbdbq.vim
 If you don't mind having this plugin always loaded just drop it in ~/.vim/plugin/
