When I press 'space' (vm-scroll-forward) just before a new mail (attrib
N) from someone not in my bbdb, it seems to do the following sequence:
1. (first press of 'space') move to next mail (the new one) and display
   the first screen of the presentation buffer
2. (second press of 'space') puts up a blank screen in the presentation
   buffer and query whether I want to add the new user
3. (after answering query)) redisplay presentation buffer

This is weird/annoying/wasteful behavior. I believe the behavior before
was:
1. (first space) empty presentation buffer and query whether I want to
   add the new user.
2. (after answering query) display the presentation buffer

Any idea why vm+bbdb displays/erases/displays the presentation buffer?

Unfortunately, for all problems like these, we would need a 
vm-submit-bug-report so that we can test it with your settings.  If 
you don't want to send a standard bug report, then test it with 
default settings (use emacs -q and empty/basic .vm file).  If the 
problem doesn't occur with the default settings, then some setting of 
yours is making it happen.  You would need to figure out which ones 
are doing so.

I think the simplest solution is to send us a standard bug report.

Coming back to the issue, I tried this with the default settings of 
bbdb and vm, and there is no blank screen at all for bbdb.  Neither 
does bbdb ask me whether to add an entry.  It just does it silently!

Cheers,
Uday
