Seconded, especially for mailing lists whose name gets changed by people
when they reply.  Also the Jan Djarv bug is related, where Jan's BBDB
entry doesn't match his name so I got the following name entries in my
BBDB file when I answer `y' to the update question:

['Jan Djärv' (Jan D. Jan Djärv Jan Djärv Jan 
DjÃ\203\203Ã\202\203\203Ã\203\203Ã\202\202Ã\203\202Ã\202¤rv Jan

2007-01-24) (timestamp . 2008-04-10) (newsgroups . gmane.emacs.devel)) 
nil]

If this has been answered before, please let me know, I couldn't find
it.  I would like to at least stop the Jan update questions with the
method, if the real bug can't be fixed.

I'm running 2.36 devo under a CVS snapshot of Emacs.

Thanks
Ted

UB (setq bbdb-quiet-about-name-mismatches t) 

I had an outdated BBDB checkout.  Sorry for the noise.

For the OP: the bbdb-quiet-about-name-mismatches can be many things, not
just a t value.  You can make it a function, for example.
