Thanks, these both seem to work.  Well,
bbdb-quiet-about-name-mismatches doesn't do what it's documented to
do, but that's much less of an issue.  (I receive a lot of mail from
one particular address that changes its alleged full name every single
time - I'd like bbdb never to record this address - still can't figure
out how to achieve that.)
