I confirmed that this is the case by installing the previous version (the one right before the 1.82.2.1 / 1.83 fix) 1.68.2.10, which does not exhibit the problem. What exactly IS the problem, at the Lisp level? It is not use describing it in user level terms involving a mailer that isn't part of Emacs, because we can't work on it that way. I can reproduce by calling compose-mail and typing an alias to be expanded that has a '-' in it - it currently expands when the '-' is typed even if the alias continues after the '-' ('mark-h' for instance). Could you please send me a *precise* test case for this bug? The test case should start with `emacs -q', so that your .emacs file does not affect it, and it should show exactly what text to put in the buffer, what commands to execute, and how and where to click. Also please say exactly what incorrect results you get.
