Hi Mew developers,

The following message is forwarded from Debian BTS

  http://bugs.debian.org/406263

submitted by Danai SAE-HAN (danai.sae-han at edpnet.be):

| http://www.mew.org/rc/info/mew_28.html.en#SEC28 explains that
| M-TAB will expand the email address to its full name:
| user's full name <email at example.com>.
| 
| However, the shortcut has never worked on my computer.  I'm using
| a Belgian AZERTY keyboard, and M is the "Alt Gr" key or the "right
| alt" key.
NOTE: `M-TAB' conflicts with flyspell-mode and window managers.

| I have therefore put the following line in my .mew file:
| 
|   (define-key mew-draft-header-map [(control tab)] 'mew-expand-address)
| 
| This works for me, but *only* for one email address at a time.

| The second part of my bug report is more a request.  When I have
| a group of users ("pooh" and "piglet") and they are grouped
| under the name "friends", then TAB will expand "friends" with
| pooh's and piglet's (first) email address.  Now I have to go
| through all the email addresses and hit "C-tab" in order to
| get their email addresses fully expanded, including their screen
| name.  Isn't there an easier way?

Thanks,
