This looks quite nice; I have been missing the possibility of a regex
search for mail addresses and the combination with ido is quite
appealing.

How do you invoke it?  I am currently struggling with the interactions
between .mailrc (emacs mail aliases, expanding as abbrevs) and bbdb
(expanding with TAB).  This is partly why I haven't even considered
using org-contacts yet...

As always, with Emacs, too many choices, too little time!  ;-)
