I cleaned up the old file bbdb-sc.el to make it compatible with
BBDB 3 and made it part of the BBDB 3 repository on Savannah. Yet I
am not a supercite user myself; so I cannot check whether this code
works with BBDB 3 the way it is supposed to. Compared to BBDB 2,
nothing in the BBDB-Supercite interface should have changed.
Is there possibly anything about bbdb-sc.el that _should_ change to
get rid of oddities in this code or bring it otherwise up to speed
with BBDB 3 / more recent versions of supercite in GNU Emacs?
I noticed that bbdb/sc-set-attr calls bbdb-annotate-message.
Currently this happens with bbdb-annotate-message's arg UPDATE-P
being nil meaning 'update. Should this be customizable to allow more
aggressive behavior?
Comments welcome.

I tried to clean up these things:
- I realized that both Gnus and VM can support this. (I do not know
about other MUAs, suggestions welcome.) So I gave the functions
and user variables more generic names. The "real job" is now done
by the functions bbdb-mua-summary-unify and bbdb-mua-summary-mark
(see there).
- The user interface has been simplified: now there are fewer
variables to configure, yet they give more options, see
bbdb-mua-summary-unification-list
bbdb-mua-summary-mark-field
bbdb-mua-summary-mark
bbdb-mua-summary-unify-format-letter
bbdb-mua-summary-mark-format-letter
- Insinuation of this feature requires the usual call of
bbdb-initialize for the respective MUA (Gnus / VM).
Yet more importantly you need to customize
gnus-summary-line-format / vm-summary-format, see
bbdb-mua-summary-unify-format-letter and
bbdb-mua-summary-mark-format-letter.
The user variables gnus-summary-line-format and vm-summary-format
are too complex to let bbdb-initialize do this job.
