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. -- Eric S Fraga with org 9.5.1 in Emacs 29.0.50 on Debian 11.1
