I use eudc since I search both ldap and bbdb, but I bet the same sort
of advice could be applied directly to bbdb-complete-name:
(defadvice eudc-expand-inline (around check-aliases-too activate)
"If eudc-expand-inline doesn't find a match, check for a match in mail-aliases."
(condition-case nil
ad-do-it
(error (dsg-complete-alias))))
(defun dsg-complete-alias ()
(interactive)
(let* ((b-o-w (save-excursion
(forward-word -1)
(point)))
(word (buffer-substring b-o-w (point)))
(maybes (all-completions word mail-aliases)))
(cond ((null maybes)
(error "no aliases match %s" word))
((= (length maybes) 1)
(delete-region b-o-w (point))
(insert (car maybes)))
(t
(with-output-to-temp-buffer "*Completions*"
(display-completion-list maybes))))
(expand-abbrev)))
The dsg-complete-alias function provides completion for mail aliases.
expand-abbrev doesn't seem to do that on its own. On the other hand,
I wrote this for an older version of xemacs so maybe it's redundant
now. Someday I'll get around to checking.
