+The following plugins are available by default:
+tt(_email-ldap) (see the tt(filter) style),
+tt(_email-local) (completes var(user)tt(@)var(hostname) Unix addresses),
+tt(_email-mail) (completes aliases from tt(~/.mailrc)),
+tt(_email-mush),
+tt(_email-mutt),

+
+Addresses from the tt(_email-)var(foo) plugin are added under the

+
+em(Writing plugins)
+
+Plugins are written as separate functions with names starting with `tt(_email-)'.
+They are invoked with the tt(-c) option and tt(compadd) options.
+They should either do their own completion or
+set the tt($reply) array to a list of `var(alias)tt(:)var(address)' elements and return tt(300).
+New plugins will be picked up and run automatically.
