Aloha everyone,
I mostly correspond in English, but I have a few French correspondents
and a couple of German ones. So I wanted to automatically enter French
input mode or German input mode respectively when writing to one of
those folks. After an embarrassing amount of time I came up with
something that works. (I'm on Emacs 25.3 and corresponding Gnus, and I
use message mode, gnus-alias, and BBDB completion. Obviously, I've
anonymized the addressees.)

But this seems excessively crude and clunky. Surely I'm not the first
person ever to do this sort of thing, but I can't find any other
examples.
Any suggestions about doing this better, perhaps much better?
Mahalo,
