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.
