After editing the @file{~/.mailrc} file, or if the file was modified
outside of Emacs, you can update the mail aliases used by a running
Emacs session with @w{@kbd{M-x rebuild-mail-abbrevs @key{RET}}}. This
prompts for the name of the file to use, the default being the value

@code{merge-mail-abbrevs} prompts for a file with mail aliases, then
merges the aliases in that file with the existing ones.
@findex define-mail-abbrev
Alternatively, you can use Emacs commands to define mail aliases.
The command @code{define-mail-abbrev} prompts for the alias and the
full address, and defines the alias to expand to the full address.
