Despite all my https://www.jidanni.org/comp/configuration/ , the bbdb-mail command ignores my gnus-posting-styles.

I'm not sure I understand.  Why would the bbdb-mail command consult
the gnus-posting-styles variable?

All I know is there is a terrible tangle of:

bbdb-mail-user-agent is a variable defined in ‘bbdb.el’.
Its value is ‘message-user-agent’
Original value was gnus-user-agent

mail-user-agent is a variable defined in ‘simple.el’.
Its value is ‘gnus-user-agent’
Original value was message-user-agent

mail-user-agent is a variable defined in ‘simple.el’.
Its value is ‘gnus-user-agent’
Original value was message-user-agent

The challenge was to make "m" in bbdb make the same From: header as C-x m does.

Have you tried setting that variable back to `gnus-user-agent'?

As you can see in my https://www.jidanni.org/comp/configuration/
$ grep bbdb .emacs .gnus.el
.emacs:(setq bbdb-mail-avoid-redundancy 'mail-only) ;must do even when bbdb not loaded yet
.emacs:     (add-hook 'bbdb-load-hook
.emacs:     (and (require 'bbdb nil t)(bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message 'sc)))
.gnus.el: mail-user-agent 'gnus-user-agent;m wont work in bbdb before
There is quite a tangle of stuff....

There doesn't seem to be a bug in Emacs here, so this seems
inappropriate for a bug report.  If you need help with using Emacs,
there are other forums for that.

So I'm closing this bug report.
