This is indeed what I tried.

Thanks where is the setq line supposed to be? Most likely in the file
in question which is in fundamental mode?
Not in the .abbrev_devs file?
I tried the former and it works! May thanks.
I might need to edit my abbrev times from time to time but that is ok
and it might be a hassle in mail modes, but better than nothing.

Maybe some other developer has an idea?
In any case, I think it would be very useful to add some of the stuff
Robert told me to the documentation, which is a bit sparse, I'd say.
Thanks and regards
