Everything was hunky dory with my gnus...until I upgraded to Emacs 24,
and my multiple IMAP accounts sent it crazy, and now I use mu4e (someone
mentioned it on this list).

stored it would only give the first one.

Digging around in my old configuration has yielded all the bbdb3 things
pasted below, may be you will find what you need in there? Sorry, I
can't test it properly or say exactly which bit you need. Perhaps
someone else will give a better reply.
