I do this (adding aliases to .mailrc to get people's domains supplied
automatically), but mail tools become very slow when they have to read in and
interpret a long .mailrc file.

I wish there were some U**X kernel or perhaps shell feature that did hashed
lookups for mail (and other) identifiers to supply omitted components of
addresses...
