Thank you, this solved my problem! Now all works like they should work.

I had same problem before, but when I moved (require 'mail-abbrevs) [which
is now ofcourse (require 'mailabbrev)] from the mail-setup-hook to global
scope M-TAB and automatic alias expansion worked also when composing the
first letter.
This is how I now set the alias "things" in my .emacs:
(require 'mailabbrev)
(setq mail-setup-hook
'(lambda ()
(bbdb-insinuate-sendmail)
(bbdb-define-all-aliases)
(mail-abbrevs-setup)
))

I have (bbdb-insinuate-vm) right after I've loaded the BBDB and VM stuff in
in my .emacs.
