abbrev.c bug?

[Katsumi Yamaoka]

Hi,

I'm using mail aliases written in the ~/.mailrc file and the
message-mode runs mail-abbrevs-setup to make them usable in the
message buffer.  However, even if I write an alias and type the
space key in the message header, it isn't expanded to the
aliasee at present.  I don't know why pre-abbrev-expand-hook is
not evaluated, but I found the following ChangeLog entry:

2004-07-24  Richard M. Stallman  <address@hidden>
[...]
        * abbrev.c (Fexpand_abbrev): Run Qpre_abbrev_expand_hook
        only when a real abbrev is present.

How do I make `a real abbrev'?  Or is it a bug?

Regards,
