TODO: Facilitate update BBDB v2.x to v3
As I mentioned before, the right solution is to mark the old functions and variables obsolete which would make emacs autodetect and warn the users when they use the old variables. This seems to be much easier (and probably even automatable using git) than the suggestion in TODO (auto-migration). Is anyone working on this?

The docstring should talk not only about the internal function bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p but first of all it should mention the commands affected by this. I'll try to fix this.

Take a look at the variable bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p. It specifies what you get without / with a prefix arg. The default is `search' without a prefix and `query' with a prefix.

Hey, this was a great bit of information -- I've long been confused about the best way to get someone in the database if you're not automatically adding unknown senders. So now with a prefix arg ":" asks whether to add a new record, but I don't see what you set to have it ask for all invocations, not just those with a prefix arg…? -- Get a FREE DOWNLOAD! and learn more about uberSVN rich system, user administration capabilities and model configuration.

Which step needs to be confirmed by typing Return so that apparently you get what you want?
