[RFC] emacs: use ido completing read for address completion in message mode

[Mark Walters]

This patch uses ido-completing-read for address completion in message
mode.  Although ido-completing-read is nominally a drop-in replacement
for completing-read `initial` and `default` behave rather differently
and it makes sense to use `default` rather than `initial` in the ido
case.

There was some interest on irc for using ido-completing-read for
address completion in message-mode so here is a trivial patch.

I am not sure I like the ido-completing-read behaviour as typing in
the minibuffer matches anywhere in the address not just at the start
of the address. I think there is a difference between this and setting
the users from address where it is likely that many of their addresses
start the same.

But it might be a starting point for experiments.

Best wishes

Mark
