Thanks for the tip! I customized bbdb/news-auto-create-p to
message-mail-p, because I don't want to add entries for every news
article I read (sorry everyone). Now it would be nice to weed out mail
addresses received through mailing lists. I guess I'll have to make a
function for gnus-select-group-hook.
