Unsatisfied with Gnus' message-resend

Unsatisfied with Gnus' message-resend

[Raymond Scholz]

Hi!

I'm unsatisfied with Gnus' capabilities to resend a message.  For
bounced messages there is 'S D b' that does a fine job by loading the
message in a *bounce* buffer and let me edit it like a newly composed
mail.

`message-resend' prompts me for new recipients in the minibuffer where
no BBDB will help me with complicated email addresses.  Wouldn't it be
more consistent and convenient to have 'message-resend' act like
sending a bounced message?  

One could also think about a sort of template support, that uses the
article at the current point as a template if you say 'C-u m' or 
'C-u a` f.e.  I'd love such a feature.

Cheers,
  Ray

I know "me too's" aren't that useful, but I've had this gripe many a
time too, yet, admittedly, never said anything about it. I would
_love_ to be able to access my BBDB/alias expansion when doing a
resend. Therefore, I would just like to say, "me too". Or something to
that effect.

I've added a keymap for message-read-from-minibuffer in Oort Gnus
v0.01.  The following lines enable you to access your BBDB expansion
when doing a resend.

(require 'message)
(define-key message-minibuffer-local-map [(tab)] 'bbdb-complete-name)

Great!  It even works for multiple recipients.
