Whoo, that was confusing! This works for gnus:
(defun bbdb-mua-window-p ()
"Return lambda function matching the selected MUA window.
This return value can be used as arg HORIZ-P of `bbdb-display-records'."
`(lambda (window) (or
(eq (window-buffer window)
(get-buffer ,gnus-article-buffer))
(eq window ,(selected-window)))))
Obviously this clobbers whatever was in bbdb-mua-mode-alist, and while I
was hoping the second `or' clause would allow it to work for message
mode as well, message mode still pops up with a vertical split, at the
bottom. But at least this works for gnus...
