Another question:

Can I configure gnus/BBDB in such a way that I can type a short mail
alias as "To:" and gnus gets the real address from BBDB before sending
the mail?

Best regards,
	Jochen

Certainly. The command is bbdb-complete-name. Kai Großjohann has
written message-x.el which adds this and other types of message header 
completion. Also, since I don't keep everyone in my bbdb, I'd like to
use abbrev for domains. So I've added this bit of advice:

(defadvice bbdb-complete-name (after bbdb-complete-name-default-domain activate)
  (let* ((completed ad-return-value))
    (if (null completed)
	  (expand-abbrev)
      )
    )
)

Does BBDB not work with PGnus? Here is the backtrace from trying to load

This is a FAQ.  I believe the answer is to remove the version of
mail-abbrevs distributed with bbdb.

Depending on which version you're running.  I pulled it as of 1.52
IIRC.
