I am sorry, the code is broken. A bad hack to make it work *somehow* is to use a prompt for bbdb-completing-read-mails that looks like a mail header, for example (bbdb-completing-read-mails "Resend-message(s)-to: ") The real problem is: bbdb-completing-read-mails is derived from bbdb-complete-mail which is used in an ordinary buffer instead of a minibuffer, and bbdb-complete-mail can also perform partial completion. Yet I believe in the context of bbdb-completing-read-mails, partial completion doesn't make much sense as a return value for this function. I assume this must have been an old problem, already present in BBDB 2. Right now I am not sure whether / how this can be solved cleanly by defining a suitable wrapper around bbdb-complete-mail. Currently, BBDB 3 uses bbdb-completing-read-mails only for its MH-E interface. But I am not aware of anybody using this interface, which is probably why this problem went unnoticed for so long. Different question: What is your use case? Why do you want to advice gnus-summary-resend-message? Why can't you use bbdb-complete-mail in some gnus buffer? (I do not know many details about gnus.)
