I cannot confirm this.  Hitting ";" runs `bbdb-mua-edit-field-sender'.
This command only looks at the sender headers defined in
`bbdb-message-headers', which, by default, includes "Resent-From",
"Reply-To", "From", "Sender".  So this should ignore the recipients
headers, and  that's how it works for me.  Maybe I am missing something
about this issue.
