But that asks me to edit the notes field :) All I want is to add a
record! Customization of "bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p" makes much more
sense to me.

I'm using git versions of gnus and bbdb, and something somewhere loves
to put a "->" in the minibuffer when I hit ";" for
bbdb-mua-edit-notes-sender and a few other actions, I can't quite see a
pattern. I don't know who to blame for this "->", but it overrides
whatever other helpful hints the minibuffer should have been showing me,
and in general makes it very difficult to get things done. Has anyone
else seen this? What on earth is it doing?

Thanks,
E

Looks like you have

(setq bbdb-electric t)

which you might want to replace by

(setq bbdb-electric nil)

I am not using the electric mode either. (This was something from
bbdb v2.) I believe it's intended for situations when you want to
use bbdb temporarily for picking an address or things like that.
Maybe someone else knows better about the purpose of this?
