Subject: [PATCH] emacs: functions to import sender or recipients into BBDB

>From a show buffer, notmuch-bbdb/snarf-from imports the sender into
bbdb.  notmuch-bbdb/snarf-to imports all recipients.  Newly imported
contacts are reported in the minibuffer / Messages buffer.

Both functions use the BBDB parser to recognize email address formats.

This differs from the last version of the patch only in whitespace.  In
 addition to changes pointed out by Tomi Ollila, I fixed a ')' on a line
 alone, and aligned the lines of notmuch-bbdb/header-by-name.

I've been using this code (prior to whitespace changes) for a month and
 a half, as far as testing goes.

I wonder if I can get whitespace-mode to warn me about double-spacing....
