It took me a while to get this working.  This is what I've got:

\f
In my .emacsrc:

(custom-set-variables
 '(sc-preferred-attribution-list (quote ("sc-consult" "x-attribution"  "firstname" "lastname" "initials")))
 '(sc-attrib-selection-list 
                '(("sc-from-address"
          	 ((".*"  (bbdb/sc-consult-attr
          		   (sc-mail-field "sc-from-address")))))))

 '(sc-mail-glom-frame 
         '((begin                        (setq sc-mail-headers-start (point)))
          ("^x-attribution:[ \t]+.*$"   (sc-mail-fetch-field t) nil t)
          ("^\\S +:.*$"                 (sc-mail-fetch-field) nil t)
          ("^$"                         (progn (bbdb/sc-default)
                                        (list 'abort '(step . 0))))
          ("^[ \t]+"                    (sc-mail-append-field))
          (sc-mail-warn-if-non-rfc822-p (sc-mail-error-in-mail-field))
          (end                          (setq sc-mail-headers-end (point)))))
 '(sc-citation-leader ""))

(bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message 'sc)

(bbdb-insinuate-sc)  

\f
And in my gnus:
