message-mode has some - well, let's call them specifics around
completion, which might perhaps deserve a separate discussion (IMHO
anyway).

As you are using the cape package, are you by any chance also using the
corfu package? If yes, with the value of completion-at-point-functions
you have, you should get email addresses in the To:, and From: lines via
corfu.

In any case, if you move point to the To: line, type a substring for
which you know there will be a match in EUDC, and then do
"M-: (completion-at-point)", what happens?
