Indeed; I'd love to have vm-mail worked into this. Note that VM is frame-aware, though, which GNUS doesn't seem to be so far. I think that's important (I'd love to have gnus-post-other-frame, for example). >> While you are at it, I can provide a quick hack to allow >> completion of addresses on From:, CC:, etc, lines; it gets >> completion values from a variety of sources including .mailrc, >> /etc/aliases and YP/NIS aliases. lmi> That sounds interesting. There is already a mailalias.el file, lmi> but I don't quite know what that one offers... Please make this kind of thing configurable; our NIS aliases database is _HUGE_, and I don't want to complete on it in any way. That's what BBDB is for! Now _there's_ a worthwhile package to make sure message.el works with. Also, Kyle Jones, Barry Warsaw, and others came up with a set of rules that Emacs messaging systems should obey, to allow citing engines like supercite to work. I don't know how much of that is interesting for message.el but it should be taken into account. And finally, I much prefer mailabbrev.el to mailalias.el, so if you're looking for that kind of thing, there's my vote--plus my mabbrev-menu package creates a menu bar menu for mailabbrev aliases :)
