How does one use ecomplete?

[Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@golden-gryphon.com>]

Hi,

        I have been using message-x, which binds <TAB> to
 message-x-tab -- which works great, most of the time. Unfortunately,
 it also seems to block ecomplete -- I can see all the options that
 ecomplete has found in the minibuffer, but there is no way to select
 any of them.

        So, I stopped using message-x -- with the result that <TAB> in
 the to header  runs the command message-tab, which consults
 message-completion-alist,  
 ("^\\(Resent-\\)?\\(To\\|B?Cc\\):" . message-expand-name)

        Now, message-expand-name find my bbdb, and runs
 bbdb-complete-name. running expand-abbrev does not help -- No
 ecompletion :(

        My message-mail-alias-type is set to 'ecomplete, fwiw.

        Is there someway to have ecomplete take precedence, or if no
 ecomplete matches are found, to have tab fall back to message-tab (or
 message-x-tab)?  Failing that, How may I add the ecomplete selection
 entry point to `message-x-unknown-header-function', which is the
 function called when the message-x completion function has not done
 anything.
