You mean, if the basic requirement is to make no changes at all to
rmail-out itself?  In that case, you are probably right, but why would
we self-impose such a restriction?  If we want to support BBDB, why
not modify rmail-out to be capable of such support?

(I admit I don't understand what exactly is entailed in "using a BBDB
field as a target name", so perhaps if you elaborate on that, we will
find some way of doing that without changing rmailout.el.)
