Subject: [PATCH] emacs: functions to import sender or recipients into BBDB

>From a show buffer, notmuch-bbdb/snarf-from imports the sender into
bbdb.  notmuch-bbdb/snarf-to imports all recipients.  Newly imported
contacts are reported in the minibuffer / Messages buffer.

Both functions use the BBDB parser to recognize email address formats.
---
This differs from the last version of the patch only in whitespace.  In
 addition to changes pointed out by Tomi Ollila, I fixed a ')' on a line
 alone, and aligned the lines of notmuch-bbdb/header-by-name.

I've been using this code (prior to whitespace changes) for a month and
 a half, as far as testing goes.

I wonder if I can get whitespace-mode to warn me about double-spacing....
