I tried it last night with SXEmacs.  It didn't get to the point of
"collecting" any addresses (I didn't look too closely to see when that
happens... during reading or composing or both).  I tried composing an
email and noticed "No ecomplete matches" messages for every char I
typed in To header.  So I figured it was at least trying to do
something. 

Then I hit C-c C-c...

SXEmacs immediately became unusable.  It was locked up tighter than a
fish's... ahem.  C-g was no help.  I had to manually kill(1) it.

I'll try in XEmacs (although it shouldn't make a difference) and
report back.

Only needed for XEmacs 21.4.  XEmacs 21.5 and SXEmacs has
`replace-regexp-in-string'.

For (S)XEmacs, I'd suggest...

  (expand-file-name ".ecompleterc" user-init-directory)
