Not as i recall with mail/Mail/RAND/MH.
I remember having (needing) a  shell alias to grep my alias file via :!
whom Th\?om escape to see what Tom's i knew while in compose mode.

I'd expect the emacs built-in MUA had alias/address completion pretty
early, but i didn't use that much as VI  used my $TERM's scroll and blank
modes more effectively at 4800bps, and MH/RAND were dept official choice.
(Emacs is usually the first quasi gui for almost everything?)
