- If I expand a mail alias with (expand-abbrev) in a header in a *mail*
- buffer, (expand-abbrev) will always return nil, even when the mail
- alias is expanded. Shouldn't it return t in that case?
-
- Here's what I did:
-
- Go to the "To:" line. Write "uwe". Then "ESC ESC (expand-abbrev)
- RET". The mail alias is expanded, but expand-abbrev returns
- "nil".
-
- My .mailrc contains the line:
-
- alias uwe uwe.wuerfel@rrzc1.rz.uni-regensburg.de
-
- The doc of expand-abbrev says:
-
- expand-abbrev: ()
- -- an interactive built-in function.
- Expand the abbrev before point, if there is an abbrev there.
- Effective when explicitly called even when `abbrev-mode' is nil.
- ==> Returns t if expansion took place.
