Is `bbdb-canonicalize-net-hook' what you are looking for?

You could use it to decode the address with something like:

(defun gmane-bbdb-canonicalize-net-hook (address)
   (replace-in-string address REGEXP NEWTEXT &optional LITERAL)
   address)
   
And then there is also `bbdb-ignore-some-messages-alist' and
`bbdb-ignore-most-messages-alist' to avoid the adding of any
addresses to your BBDB from matching messages!
