Emacs FAQ has the following, so I suppose that this serves as
documentation for how to force rereading of the `.mailrc file (or its
equivalent).

12.3 Why doesn't Emacs expand my aliases when sending mail?

   * Emacs normally only reads the `.mailrc' file once per session,
     when you start to compose your first mail message.  If you edit
     `.mailrc', you can type `M-: (build-mail-aliases) <RET>' to make
     Emacs reread `~/.mailrc'.
