I took a totally different approach; I decided that I wanted someone in my
bbdb if I replied to their email. So, as a gnus user, I did this:
(defun pdf-bbdb/gnus-force-create ()
"Add bbdb entry for this message."
(interactive)
(let ((bbdb/news-auto-create-p t))
(bbdb/gnus-pop-up-bbdb-buffer)))
(defadvice message-reply (before pdf-bbdb/add-on-reply activate)
"Add addresses replied to to bbdb."
(save-excursion
(save-window-excursion
(pdf-bbdb/gnus-force-create))))
The save-window-excursion is quite necessary, as message-reply expects a
particular window configuration and would otherwise get confused at the
sudden appearance of the bbdb popup buffer.
