[comp.mail.elm] Is anybody working on...

We've got a utility here that looks in a file for matching names and
prints out things like phone number, mailstop and email address.  We
were thinking it would be a nice thing to integrate into elm, so you
can type part of a name and have it automatically stick in an address.
Current thoughts are a little on the crude side (if "To:" is '?', run
script and take whatever comes back as a list of addresses; the script
would connect to /dev/tty and do various things giving the use a
chance to edit the list before cat'ing the list to the provided stdout).

Anyhow, I thought I'd see if anybody was working on similar ideas before
I go off and re-invent the wheel...
