 I think this is a bug. Many of my BBDB entries have out of date, old
 or less preferred alternative net entries. Often (geek that I am) I
 find it easier to remember people's user names and try to complete on 
 that, but what I want to appear is the primary net address (usually
 in some house style of [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Usernames tend to 
 be more unique anyway - few people have the same initials but many
 people share a first name.

 I was forced to set bbdb-completion-type to 'primary-or-name to stop
 BBDB completing with some random alternative email address, and now I
 have to type (much) more before I can use completion (typically
 firstname dot and then at least the first character of the surname,
 sometimes two).
