Hi,
I would like, say, meo to expand to my.email.org after @.
So for any arbitrary user
user@meo
would expand to
u...@my.email.org
Is this possible?
That's possible by M-' abbrev-prefix-mark
Type user@ then M-' , it will become user@-, type meo follow by, it will
expand in the way you want.
It has been clearly stated in the documentation (info (emacs) abbrevs),
at menu Controlling Abbrev Expansion. HTH.
Thanks for the pointer to the documentation.
This works expect for expansion in the address fields in Gnus (which is
where I would like expansion following @ to work). In this case
expansion just doesn't happen, with or without a prefix.
Maybe someone on the in the Gnus newsgroup can enlighten me. I assume
it is some sort of conflict with the regular Gnus magic which expands
addresses out the BBDB.
If abbreviations in address fields don't play nicely with BBDB
expansion, does anyone know whether it is possible to have generic
addresses in BBDB? What I means is that if a string, say alice
doesn't match a known address, then on pressing the tab-key it could be
optionally expanded to al...@default.email.org. Does BBDB support
anything like that?
Cheers,
Loris
