The problem is that bbdb is getting a fontified version of the name from
the mail (or news) agent. To bbdb this new name does not look like the old
name, so it asks about replacing or adding an AKA.
We need something that will translate
#("Ted" 0 3 (face bold)) #("Labuza" 0 6 (face bold))
into
("Ted" "Labuza")
automatically.
I think this might actually need to go in the function
mail-extract-address-components. Unfortunately, I think there are several
versions floating around. I think a kludgy fix would be to add a single
line which ensures that font-lock-mode is off in the extraction-buffer used
by m-e-a-c. Here is a context diff for the version 1.8 of mail-extr (sent
with emacs 19.29).
