Thanks! But somehow I am not able to insert the alias!?
My alias-relevant (I think :-)) code looks like this:

  ;; BBDB mail alias definitions:
  (autoload 'bbdb-define-all-aliases
    "bbdb-com" "Hook mail alias feature of BBDB into message-mode." t)
  (add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'bbdb-define-all-aliases)
  (add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'ls6-message-mode-hook-mail-aliases)
  (defun ls6-message-mode-hook-mail-aliases ()
    (define-key message-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-a")
      'mail-interactive-insert-alias))
  (setq bbdb-completion-display-record nil)

Does anybody have an idea?

Greetings!

What, where?

You cannot insert the alias in the bbdb? Or you cannot expand it in a
message buffer?

O.K. I deleted my code-part. Thanks! Unfortunately it doesn't help with the
mail-alias. I copied one of my bbdb-entries:

xxx
         Office: 030
            net: xxxx
            AKA: TU
  creation-date: 27 Feb 2004
      timestamp: 20 Apr 2004
      last-subj: Wechsel
     user-agent: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v4.02a)
     mail-alias: TU

As you can see, I have a mail-alias 'TU', but when writing this and afterwards
pressing TAB, I just see the addresses which have a beginning TU in their
names!?

Greetings!
