Re: dictionary completion for words including `@' sign

I worked exhaustively on iskeyword and then followed some advice
to set isfname. Neither of the help descriptions of these two
settings were clear descriptions of their function (to me).

It do not need syntax highlighting in my vims spawned from mutt,
but I do want email address completion!

So still, any takers?
