I am trying this out (having been using bbdb-handy up to now).  I cannot
quite figure out what it is doing.  I use bbdb as my address book.  Mail
aliases from bbdb work just fine (typing "somealias SPC") but tab
completion is strange.  It works, in the sense that if I type "somename
TAB", I get a completion list.  However, it is unclear where the
contents of this list are coming from.

TAB is bound to message-tab which then invokes message-expand-name which
should be checking bbdb but it does not appear to (or is missing many
entries from bbdb).

Any pointers or clarifications would be welcome.

Thank you,
eric

PS - sorry if I have hijacked the thread; happy to start a new one if
     desired.
