It helps to know what version. I found that 2.32 worked
okay but 2.33 (from the cvs tree) had some issues. Look at
the value of bbdb-extract-address-component-regexps it's
what figures this out. it calls bbdb-clean-username which
does what you want. I also added a call to
bbdb-snarf-nice-real-name which was in 2.32 but was
removed. This function deals with outlook format names of
"last, first" so that you don't get asked about adding that
as an alternate.
