Unlike bbdb-wl.el bundled with BBDB 3.x, bbdb-wl.el for BBDB 2.x
(bundled with Wanderlut) and lsdb.el extract header field values from
original message buffer.  You can get message body with the same
approach, but you need to parse and decode it by yourself.

Wanderlust does not assume user defined address completing function,
so you need to override keymap or function like other analogous
softwares.
