For once I may help! :-) For years, I've been using such code:


(defun maybe-reread-mail-aliases ()
  (let ((mailrc (expand-file-name "~/.mailrc")))
    (if (string-equal buffer-file-name mailrc)
	(rebuild-mail-abbrevs mailrc)))
  nil)

(add-hook 'write-file-hooks 'maybe-reread-mail-aliases)


So, I modify ~/.mailrc, and as soon as I do `C-x C-s' on it, changed
aliases are immediately usable in the message composition buffer.
