I did think about that and decided not to do it (in fact the first revision of this patch did exactly that). If we have to maintain this list manually, we might as well leave to the place that matters: the completion script. I don't think the person who updates send-email.perl would be always interested in completion support. And the one that is interested usually only looks at the completion script. Putting this list in send-email.perl just makes it harder to find. -- Duy
