Yes, this fixes the reported problem, but it isn't general enough.

Completing mail abbrevs must only happen for strings after

    ^[tT]o:[:blank:]?
or
    ,[:blank:]

Wondering when my .mailrc entries were transferred to
(define-abbrev-table 'mail-abbrevs '(...)) in  ~/.abbrev_defs; was this
a one time action or does Emacs maintain this list?

Whenever Emacs decides to modify user files in tell the user about it
(through a message dialog the user is considered to confirm) and add a
comment.
