Maybe always copy the raw data (fields or the whole record) but provide yank functions insinuated into each known recipient? Maybe simply `bbdb-yank' could be the function? For example yanking into a fundamental buffer would paste the text version. Yanking into a lisp mode would paste in Lisp syntax. Yanking into Gnus/VM/etc. would paste a vcard. Just an idea, it could be useful though.
