565 Message uses @code{mailabbrev} to handle mail aliases.
566 @code{mailabbrev} works by parsing the @file{/etc/mailrc} and
567 @file{~/.mailrc} files. These files look like:
568
569 @example
570 alias lmi "Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@@ifi.uio.no>"
571 alias ding "ding@@ifi.uio.no (ding mailing list)"
572 @end example
573
574 After adding lines like this to your @file{~/.mailrc} file, you should
575 be able to just write @samp{lmi} in the @code{To} or @code{Cc} (and so
576 on) headers and press @kbd{SPC} to expand the alias.
577
578 No expansion will be performed upon sending of the message---all
579 expansions have to be done explicitly.

691 Most versions of MH doesn't like being fed messages that contain the
692 headers in this variable. If this variable is non-@code{nil} (which is
693 the default), these headers will be removed before mailing. Set it to
694 @code{nil} if your MH can handle these headers.

927 For instance, if you're running Gnus and wish to insert a
928 @samp{Mail-Copies-To} header in all your news articles and all messages
929 you send to mailing lists, you could do something like the following:
930
931 @lisp
932 (defun my-message-header-setup-hook ()
933 (when (or (message-fetch-field "newsgroups")
934 (gnus-group-find-parameter
