Non-nil or nil? What value of bbdb-completion-list do you use?
-- In any case, at this point of the code DONE is non-nil if the
code performed some completion (or bbdb-complete-mail-allow-cycling
is nil)

???
Either at this point of the code DONE has a non-nil value you are
unhappy about so that you could tell us what it was. Or the value of
DONE is nil. Then you get cycling. What am I mising here?

Exactly what we discussed previously on this list
Say you have a record
Johnathan Smith
phone (home): (123) 456-7890
mail: sm...@example.com, sm...@foo.com,
Joe Smith <j...@bar.com>
Then you type in the "To" header
To: Johna
The first time you execute bbdb-complete-mail (and "Johna" doesn't
match any other record), this completes to
To: Johnathan Smith <sm...@example.com>
Subsequent calls of bbdb-complete-mail (with
bbdb-complete-mail-allow-cycling non-nil) give you
To: Johnathan Smith <sm...@foo.com>
and
To: Joe Smith <j...@bar.com>
That's what I get, and it's also my understanding of what the code is
supposed to do. What do you get?
