FWIW I guess this could also work with normal completion but
`message-expand-name' doesn't try when you use bbdb, even if bbdb
doesn't have a completion:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun message-expand-name ()
  (cond ((and (memq 'eudc message-expand-name-databases)
		    (boundp 'eudc-protocol)
		    eudc-protocol)
	 (eudc-expand-inline))
	((and (memq 'bbdb message-expand-name-databases)
	      (fboundp 'bbdb-complete-name))
         (let ((starttick (buffer-modified-tick)))
           (or (bbdb-complete-name)
               ;; Apparently, bbdb-complete-name can return nil even when
               ;; completion took place.  So let's double check the buffer was
               ;; not modified.
               (/= starttick (buffer-modified-tick)))))
	(t
	 (expand-abbrev))))
#+end_src

I wonder if this is intended.  I guess it is, at least it has been like
that for a long time.
