No I have not.
I want aliases for individuals (name, mail) and aliases
for groups (defined as aliases for individuals).
People change e-mail, but I never change aliases. If
anyone changes e-mail, that should be data that occurs
once so it can be changed at one place.
Now, in the ~/.mailrc, if I put aliases in an alias to
form such a group, when it is expanded, it is expanded
*into the aliases* - those can of course be expanded in
turn, by hand, but that's not optimal.
So the question is: how can I expand the ~/.mailrc
aliases recursively in the message-mode headers?
PS. One more uncalled-for insult from you and I'll put
you in my KILL file and be done with it. DS.
