Personally I find no MUA as usable and feature rich as Gnus. ;-)

I am mainly talking about bbdb3 now, since I can't remember the variable
names in bbdb2. For phone numbers one can use free form style by calling
bbdb-insert-field with a prefix or change the variable bbdb-phone-style:
,----[ bbdb-phone-style ]
| bbdb-phone-style is a variable defined in `bbdb.el'.
| Its value is nanp
|
| Documentation:
| Phone numbering plan assumed by BBDB.
| The value 'nanp refers to the North American Numbering Plan.
| The value nil refers to a free-style numbering plan.
|
| You can have both styles of phone number in your database by providing a
| prefix argument to the command `bbdb-insert-field'.
`----
As for postal codes, either turn the checking off by setting
bbdb-check-postcode to nil or change the variable bbdb-legal-postcodes:
,----[ bbdb-legal-postcodes ]
| bbdb-legal-postcodes is a variable defined in `bbdb.el'.
| Its value is
| ("^$" "^[ \n]*[0-9][0-9]?[0-9]?[0-9]?[0-9]?[0-9]?[ \n]*$" "^[ \n]*\\([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\\)[ \n]*-?[ \n]*\\([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]?\\)[ \n]*$" "^[ \n]*\\([A-Za-z0-9]+\\)[ \n]+\\([A-Za-z0-9]+\\)[ \n]*$" "^[ \n]*\\([A-Z]+\\)[ \n]*-?[ \n]*\\([0-9]+ ?[A-Z]*\\)[ \n]*$" "^[ \n]*\\([A-Z]+\\)[ \n]*-?[ \n]*\\([0-9]+\\)[ \n]+\\([0-9]+\\)[ \n]*$")
|
|
| Documentation:
| List of regexps that match legal postcodes.
| Whether this is used at all depends on the variable `bbdb-check-postcode'.
