I am using emacs 19.22.

Accrding to the documentation

    If you have a `~/.mailrc' file, Emacs will scan it for mail aliases
    the FIRST time you try to send mail in an Emacs session. 

I get caught with this every time. I go and add an alias, and then
send some mail, but the .mailrc file does not get reread, and so the
mail bounces. It would be much more convenient if .mailrc was reread
as necessary.
