Here, the "mail-abbrevs" table works. It affects the "To:" header, and is setup in ~/.mailrc: alias jtr "Jack The Ripper " But, how do I get abbrevs to work in the the actual *message*? With `list-abbrev', I found these, but neither work. (They might even relate to the *Messages* buffer, or to some other messages, I don't know.) (define-abbrev-table 'message-abbrevs '(("oh" "oh1")) ) (define-abbrev-table 'message-abbrev-table '(("oh" "oh2")) ) (define-abbrev-table 'message-mode-abbrev-table '(("oh" "oh3")) ) Note: Setting the "global-abbrev-table" works: it affects the "To:" header as well as the message body. -- Emanuel Berg - programmer (hire me!
