Thanks for the tip! Also implemented throughout my .emacs.

(my .emacs was started in the late 80-ies and has been version
controlled from June 1995 (first in RCS, then CVS, then subversion and
finally and still in git), so it has collected a lot of cruft over the
years, even with the occasional spring cleaning...)

For completeness for any googlers finding this thread, here is the final
version of my bbdb config in .emacs:

(when (require 'bbdb nil t)
  (bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message))
(setopt bbdb-user-mail-address-re "\\(sb@\\|steinar@my\\.domain\\.com\\)"
        bbdb-phone-style nil)
