Right, I will do something that way, but this is not perfect:
IMO, *BBDB* should display records for John Doe (and maybe emacs-devel)
but it only shows emacs-devel (unless I ask for all records by
`bbdb-mua-display-all-recipients').

Basically, the sender of the message is _not_ emacs-devel, and BBDB
thinks it is.
