** Posting articles and sending mail now has M-TAB completion on various
header fields (Newsgroups, To, CC, ...).
Completion in the Newsgroups header depends on the list of groups known to your news reader. Completion in the Followup-To header offers those groups which are in the Newsgroups header, since Followup-To usually just holds one of those.
Completion in fields that hold mail addresses works based on the list of local users plus your aliases. Additionally, if your site provides a mail directory or a specific host to use for any unrecognized user name, you can arrange to query that host for completion also. (See the documentation of variables `mail-directory-process' and `mail-directory-stream'.)
