When saving, the latin-15 sz (the name for the beta like glyph) is saved as latin-1, so next time when BBDB compares the strings again, the message has the latin-15 variant, and your bbdb has the latin-1 variant -- again! The only solution is to save the bbdb in something that keeps the correct encoding (not latin-1, emacs-mule, for example). Or automatically unify all latin encodings. (Code by Dave Love.)
