Like this: ;; For example, for mail addresses, .mailrc can look ;; like this: ;; ;; alias john "John DiFool " ;; alias kate "Katherine Moss " ;; alias friends john kate ;; ;; For Usenet groups, setup ordinary abbrevs: ;; ;; (let*((write '( ... )) ; other abbrevs ;; (groups '(("geh" "gnu.emacs.help") ;; ("geg" "gnu.emacs.gnus") ;; ; ... ;; ("ges" "gnu.emacs.sources"))) ;; (both (append write groups))) ;; (define-abbrev-table 'global-abbrev-table both) ) > That's just...amazing.
