Currently two forms are supported: `mailabbrev' and | `ecomplete'. If this variable is `nil', no mail alias expansion will | be performed. [...] | If you're using `ecomplete', all addresses from `To' and `Cc' | headers will automatically be put into the `~/.ecompleterc' file. When | you enter text in the `To' and `Cc' headers, `ecomplete' will check out | the values stored there and "electrically" say what completions are | possible. To choose one of these completions, use the `M-n' command to | move down to the list. Use `M-n' and `M-p' to move down and up the | list, and `RET' to choose a completion. `---- Works like a charm for me. Bye, Tassilo
