## AI overview

A follow-up describes extending a function to support multiple mailrc files and configuring Gnus integration to expand and complete mail aliases through keyboard shortcuts.

## Source excerpt

The function didn't allow for using more than one mailrc file, which isn't a good idea, so I've just added that. Oh and for gnus integration what I need is (add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'mail-abbrevs-setup) it seems... so that if I type the alias it'll get automatically expanded. And to be real lazy and avoid having to type in the entire alias, mail-abbrev-complete-alias to the rescue, assigned to some easy to reach keys.
