If what you describe is the case, my set-up must be wrong. When I write
an email to a person /not/ in my bbdb, I currently can't use colon (:)
to add this person's name and email address to bbdb, because : only runs
bbdb-mua-display-sender.

On 5 September, I (finally) learn that I should use
bbdb-mua-display-recipients for that instead of bbdb-create or
fumble with bbdb-snarf-paragraph.

In this case, it would not display messages I received – here I already
use the colon. It would display messages I sent. That is also
gnus-article-mode, right? 

I keep sent messages in "sent.month.year" groups. I now know that I can
visit these groups and use bbdb-mua-display-recipients when I re-read a
sent email to a person not in bbdb . And I would prefer to use the colon
here too.

My apologies. Hope I made it a little clearer.
