Re: dictionary completion for words including `@' sign

If including '@' in a vim dictionary remains problematic, the fact that
you're using mutt provides an alternative method. Mutt email aliases
allow the user to work with more human-friendly recipient names than
long-winded and cryptic email addresses - all without swearword letters. ;-)

Once headed down the path of short aliases for recipients, there's also
groups, e.g. "family", "bicycle_club", or whatever, so one soon steps
back entirely from any concern over what the actual low-level email
address might be.

The ease of focusing on What, rather than How, leaves more mental energy
for other stuff, I find. I'm never going to remember the email address
of the local shire council, but mutt knows what I mean when I address a
missive to "council", and I don't need to use any effort or swearword
letters.
