'C-h v bbdb-mua-interactive-action RET' returns:

bbdb-mua-interactive-action is a variable defined in ‘bbdb.el’.

Its value is (search . query)

Which I think looks right, based on the documentation:
 ...
 search       Search for existing records matching ADDRESS.
 update       Search for existing records matching ADDRESS;
                update name and mail field if necessary.
 query        Search for existing records matching ADDRESS;
                query for creation of a new record if the record does not exist.
 ...

Ah! It finally dawned on me what this means!

Tried 'C-u :' on a message in the summary buffer with the sender not
present in the BBDB and I was queried whether to add the sender or not.

And that is behaviour I can live with!

Thanks!
