The generic command for this is now bbdb-mua-display-sender. In Gnus, BBDB binds this command to ";". Unfortunately I am not a more experienced Gnus user, and there is a nasty technicality about keybindings in Gnus that I do not yet understand myself: While bbdb-insinuate-gnus contains the line (define-key gnus-summary-mode-map ":" 'bbdb-mua-display-sender) the command `gnus-article-read-summary-keys provides an additional wrapper for bbdb-mua-display-sender which restores the windwo configuration if this command is invoked from within a Gnus *Article* buffer. So the command bbdb-mua-display-sender has not quite the intended effect of displaying a BBDB window for the record matching the sender of a Gnus message. Currently, the command bbdb-mua-display-sender only works as intended from within a Gnus *Summary* buffer. Comments from more experienced Gnus users are appreciated. Possibly, we should continue this thread on the Gnus mailing list.
