LDAP would potentially be useful for me as well (although I try to minimise network dependencies as much as possible) and other systems will of course be useful to others. > One approach I see working for what you want, would be to add new EUDC > backends for each of mail abbrevs and ecomplete, then in message-mode, > make `eudc-expand-try-all' the default owner of the TAB keybinding when > point is in a To:, CC: or other field that wants an email address. Ummm yes, having servers for ecomplete and mail abbrevs would make sense. As a first step towards using eudc-expand-try-all as the basis for completion, I tried changing message-completion-alist (which is what message-tab uses) to invoke eudc-expand-try-all but this didn't work. Not sure why. Will explore and report back as this might be the easiest approach. -- Eric S Fraga with org 9.5.2 in Emacs 29.0.50 on Debian 11.3
