Thanks, it gives me some idea what the code is supposed to do.

However, I have not used this code in bbdb-gnus.el and it is quite
possible that something got broken in this code that has not yet
been noticed / fixed. It would be good if a more experienced gnus
user could take a look.

Note also that the default value of bbdb/gnus-split-myaddr-regexp
references the variable gnus-local-domain which is obsolete since
emacs 24.1. This suggests to me once more that the relevant code in
bbdb-gnus.el could benefit from a more careful review by an
experienced gnus user.
