I don't love mail-interactive-insert-alias. I prefer to type a little
bit on the header line and hit TAB to complete. I wrote this function
a few years ago to expand aliases along with addresses. I use a
defadvice on eudc-expand-inline (I use eudc to search both bbdb and my
company's ldap directory; I believe the same after advice would work
fine on bbdb-complete-name) to call it to check for mail-aliases if
ldap and bbdb both fail.
(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)))
