Perhaps...? But the behaviour I had for ages, until it stopped working a
couple of years back, was to display the record of the sender and to
insert (or: prompt whether to insert the sender if the sender was missing).

(However... it is possible the behaviour of inserting new record was
caused by my config, which stopped working a while back...? Right now
all of my old config is stripped away)

Yes, that's what it says on the README on github (untouched for 3 years):
 https://github.com/emacsmirror/bbdb/blob/master/README#L173

But I tried `C-u t :' without being prompted for whether to insert the
message.

':' on an article in the summary buffer, works for displaying the
sender, when the sender is already present in the bbdb.

Thanks!
