But it has problems described in:

So I ended up modifying the lisp files directly.
Pleas share the changes, eventually they could be merged

Hold on, please; I believe all this is predicated on a
misconception!
If you haven't tried (setq bbdb-quiet-about-name-mismatches 0) then
perhaps you can't say whether it solves the problem.
Setting this variable to t in fact could be interpreted as do not
ask me whether to update the bbdb record, but display a slightly
confusing message for a default interval (say 2 seconds).
The documentation for bbdb-quiet-about-name-mismatches says:
*If this is true, then BBDB will not prompt you when it notices a
name change, that is, when the real name in a message doesn't
correspond to a record already in the database with the same network
address. As in, John Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] versus John Q. Smith
[EMAIL PROTECTED]. Normally you will be asked if you want to change
it. If set to a number it is the number of seconds to sit for while
displaying the mismatch message.
And the code (buried in bbdb-annotate-message-sender) does exactly
what this says.
Probably it should not display the message in case of t, as
it contradicts the quiet in the name of the variable ...
well the code says
;; ignore name mismatches?
;; NB 'quiet' means 'don't ask', not 'don't mention'
but displaying a message is not really quiet ... and if t
is returned by a function then it is in fact suppressed.
The defcustom also has an example how to suppress it only
for records with the readonly field.
