Ah, OK, I see. With a rule like

(".*VisIt" (address "angel.......@gmail.com"))

then C-u 1 m or C-u m work as explained, but I was hoping for a way of
firing this rule when I start a new message (command 'm') from anywhere
in my group buffer, after completion of the line To: includes something
like .*visit-users.* (or just starting a mail from within BBDB (command
'm'), which I regularly use for composing mails).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
