Hi,

I just discovered mail-alias and I am trying to take power of it.

Until now I used mailrc file but as I can now use a
full-emacs-solution, I want to use it entirelly and get rid of mailrc
(I do not use other MUA that takes advantage of mailrc file).

Do you have a solution to quickly add a mail alias (abbrev in fact)
such that it ask me for the abbrev name and its definition and put all
together into my abbrev file ?

Thank you.

Xavier

P.S: do you know any mailrc to mail-abbrev converter ?

The most complete solution you can get for that within emacs is bbdb.
Maybe you want to take a look:
http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/

I know very well BBDB but due to numerous encoding problems, I have
decided not to keep on using it any longer. I have lost several times
my data and this is clearly not what I want :) I want something simple,
stable and reliable.

Maybe if someone has the invocation lines to make BBDB stopping eating
all my records, I can considerate my view another time :) Till now,
nobody could so...
