Could you please explain what you mean by multi-word abbrevs.
I think some weeks ago we discussed how the abbrevs flyspell is using
could be modified such that one would have abbrevs separated for each
language. As it turns out you can do it using minor modes, save for
mail mode, where you have use indirect buffers and a different
language mayor mode. Is this the feature you are referring to or is it
something different?

I strongly support such a request, to deal with cases in abbrev is one
what I miss most in abbrevs.
