Thanks for the explanation. Maybe there should be a pointer of some sort in the info file of bbdb Gnus Summary Buffer mentioning this `side effect'? Just adding something like: `:' invoked from the summary buffer this function will also snarf/grep/fetch/put/(...) the current sender into your ~/.bbdb file. might do the trick. Comments? Or a combination of `bbdb-snarf' (which only works if the cursor is placed somewhere near an email address in the _article_buffer_) and `show-sender'...
