Subject: DWIM fix to message.el (TAB handling)
Date: 25 Feb 1997 15:32:56 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <w4sp2ksk1z.fsf@loiosh.kei.com> (raw)

The following will allow "tab" in a message-mode header to expand mail
aliases as well as completing newsgroup names.  This makes message-mode
more integrated between mail and news.

(I don't use BBDB, so if someone wants to contribute a BBDB-completion
routine for this, feel free. :-)

I think this is the Right Thing To Do with TAB in recipient headers and
should go in 5.4.16.
