You're on the right track.  You use ESC-ESC to enter an ELisp
expression.  Enter (build-mail-aliases) like this:

	Eval: (build-mail-aliases)

and press Return.  A better question is why this isn't declared to be
interactive so the obvious M-x build-mail-aliases would work?  If it
works from eval-expression it should work from
execute-extended-command, I hope.$$
