[Nmh-workers] Does anyone remember how blind aliases used to work?

[Joel Reicher]

There is a sample line in the mh-alias man page which doesn't appear
to be supported anymore:

b-people: Blind List: bill, betty;

Doing "ali -list b-people" gives

Blind List: bill
betty;

I don't understand what "whom" is attempting to do with the alias, and
haven't looked very closely yet.

Does anyone remember how this is supposed to work, if it ever did?
The current man page for mh-alias is self-contradictory in this
respect; the grammar gives no special status to a second ":" or
line-terminating ";".

Incidentally, I'm looking at this because of
bug #15604: Blind aliases don't forward resolve the first and last entries

Cheers,
