I think my tone of voice was a little off there! ecomplete looks great -- I was glad you pointed me to it, and mostly wished that I had found it earlier (say, before I wrote mailaprop, ahem). I confess I got a little frustrated when I looked at the ecomplete.el source code, and that frustration is what came out in my original reply. The code itself was very clean & readable. But I was hungry to know the format and semantics of ~/.ecompleterc, and to know the exact completion behavior, because because then I would know whether mailaprop should continue on its own, or whether I should focus on using (and maybe extending) ecomplete.
