In sendmail.el (GNU Emacs 18.55), mail-to is defined as

    (defun mail-to ()
      "Move point to end of To-field."
      (interactive)
      (expand-abbrev)
      (mail-position-on-field "To"))

What is the purpose of the (expand-abbrev) call? This occurs in
mail-subject, mail-cc, and mail-bcc as well.
