I have been using mail-alias plus a simple script to even maintain
my sendmail aliases. It works great.
The feature that I see missing is the lack of a uniform completion
method on names and mail-aliases. In other words, I want to have the
list of mail-alias to be subject to the same completion function that
does either name or address completion (ie, bbdb-complete-name-only,
bbdb-complete-address).
Presently to get completion on mail-aliases you have to use
mail-interactive-insert-alias.
My justification is that a mail-alias is the group form of an address
or a names and should therefore be completed the same way. In
practice, I find myself in need of that feature quite often -- I mean
it is no big deal but it would be nice.
What do other people think? Is there already a way to do
what I want to do?
