I entered the group gmane.comp.python.announce on server
nntp:news.gwene.org, and hit ";" on an article (_not_ yet shown!) form
an unknown sender, the header is:

I am asked if I want to create a record for "apalala@gmail.com" and
"juanca@suigeneris.org", and I hit "y" twice.

Then I am offered to edit the "Notes: " twice and I hit "a RET", "b RET"
and "c RET".

Here is the `*BBDB*' buffer:
