I've already contributed the code to solve the easy bit of the problem
(calling a user-defined elisp function on the message to generate
field contents).  I posted it to info-bbdb a couple of months ago as
two patches to BBDB 1.48.

I use it to extract the "Archive-name:" pseudo-header from News
articles to keep a list of the programs people have written.  I then
get font-lock-mode to highlight articles from those people when
reading news (i.e. if they've written and distributed a program to the
net, then their article is probably worth reading).
