bbdb-complete-mail was never supposed to expand aliases. I believe message-tab doesn't do it either. In mail mode I have TAB bound to indent-for-tab-command, which I believe is the generic binding for TAB in text modes. That expands (any) aliases for me, just like SPC. (And I have abbrev-mode enabled. Nothing happens for me without it.) You might want to check the variable mail-aliases. For me, it contains a mixture of aliases from my old mailrc file as well as aliases from BBDB. Does it contain the aliases you want to get from BBDB? If yes, it seems you have set up BBDB correctly, yet your problem lies elsewhere when you try to use these aliases. Also you can enforce rebuilding the aliases hold in the variable mail-aliases by calling bbdb-mail-aliases (bound to A in BBDB) with a prefix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
