Seems quite useful, but I'm not sure whether to include it in the
distribution or not.  This sort of thing should ideally be handled
outside Message itself -- `mail-abbrev' does things nicely, and `bbdb'
does other things nicely.  I think the Newsgroups expansion should
also be moved out to a separate package, perhaps.
