Re: BBDB no longer works with Mu4e [PATCHED]

[Fr. John Jenkins, SSPX]

Dear list members,

The current bbdb-mua.el references the old manner in which mu4e 
viewed messages. The new mu4e simply uses the gnus-article view. I 
have modified bbdb to reflect the new manner in which mu4e views 
messages. The old way is now deprecated and so does not need to be 
supported.

This patch seems to fix the problem and allow for the current mu4e 
to use bbdb as before. For those using an older mu4e they can 
simply omit this patch.
