Manually editing the value at the > top doesn't actually work. Oh, I see. Completion works for me in the "From:" header -- going to the end of the address and hitting TAB cycles through my addresses -- but I think that function is provided by my contact management package, not message-mode. And it doesn't re-run posting styles (ie, nothing else in the message buffer changes), and it would be nice if it did.
