Now, assuming I have in ~/.emacs, the following line;
(add-hook 'mail-mode-hook 'mail-abbrevs-setup)
1: Why do addresses from the ~/.mailrc expand and the ones in ~/.emacs
not?
Because you used define-mail-alias instead of define-mail-abbrev.
2: Which is the best method for keeping addresses, and why? Is there
a better way
The .mailrc format is also read by the Unix command line MUAs. But as
others have pointed out, BBDB is even better for Emacs.
