they are coming from this code:
;; first try to get a reasonable default name if not given
;; often I get things like <firstname>.<surname>@ ...
(if (or (null name) (and (stringp name) (string= "" name)))
(if (string-match "^[^@]+" mail)
(setq name (bbdb-message-clean-name (match-string 0 mail)))))
I think this should be removed.
I can hardly imagine giving name "foo" to the record based on
"f...@bar.com" as something useful - especially since when you get a
message form "John Doe <f...@bar.com>" you will have to endure an
interrogation: use "John Doe" instead of "foo"? keep "foo" as an "AKA"?
At the very least it should be optional!
