In bbdb-2.36 (using bbdb-define-all-aliases), I could set the mail-alias field of some bbdb records to, say "friends", and then type friends as the To: field in message-mode. Pressing TAB would then expand the a comma separated list of all records whose mail-alias matches "friends" (see http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BbdbMailingLists#toc1). That's also what I understand from the docstring for bbdb-mail-aliases. > What are TAB bound to message-tab > or C-TAB bound to? bound to bbdb-complete-mail > You might need something like a call of mail-abbrevs-setup in your > init file.

You're talking about the mail aliases defined in a .mailrc file, right ? From the message-mode manual : ,---- | The message-mail-alias-type variable controls what type of mail alias | expansion to use. Currently two forms are supported: mailabbrev and | ecomplete. If this variable is nil, no mail alias expansion will be | performed. | | mailabbrev works by parsing the `/etc/mailrc' and `~/.mailrc' | files. These files look like: | | alias lmi "Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <la...@ifi.uio.no>" | alias ding "d...@ifi.uio.no (ding mailing list)" | After adding lines like this to your `~/.mailrc' file, you should be | able to just write `lmi' in the To or Cc (and so on) headers and press | SPC to expand the alias. `---- That's not what I used to use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
