Check the docstring for bbdb-mail, which is the function that starts
mail composition from the BBDB buffer. Looks like if you give it a C-u
prefix, it will use all of the mail addresses. If you're combining this
with the * prefix to act on all the visible records, you've got to hit
the * before the C-u prefix key.

Hope that helps,
Eric
