Hi Harry, >From the Manual | 2.10 Mail Aliases | | | | The message-mail-alias-type variable controls what type of mail alias | | expansion to use. Currently two forms are supported: mailabbrev and | | ecomplete. If this variable is nil, no mail alias expansion will be | | performed. | | | | mailabbrev works by parsing the `/etc/mailrc' and `~/.mailrc' | | files. These files look like: | | | | | | | | alias lmi "Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <[email protected]>" | | alias ding "[email protected] (ding mailing list)" | | | | After adding lines like this to your `~/.mailrc' file, you should be able | | to just write `lmi' in the To or Cc (and so on) headers and press SPC to | | expand the alias. | | | | No expansion will be performed upon sending of the message--all | | expansions have to be done explicitly. | | | | If you're using ecomplete, all addresses from To and Cc headers will | | automatically be put into the `~/.ecompleterc' file. When you enter text | | in the To and Cc headers, ecomplete will check out the values stored | | there and "electrically" say what completions are possible. To choose one | | of these completions, use the M-n command to move down to the list. Use | | M-n and M-p to move down and up the list, and RET to choose a completion. | \===========================================================================/ Of course, bbdb has it's own way of dealing with mail aliases. hth Glyn _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
