(This is Emacs 18.54, and it happens under emacs -q.)

Suppose I have an alias `foo' that just expands to `karl'. Then, if I
use Mail mode to mail to at least two people, one of which is foo, the
message to foo comes back ``user unknown'', the user in question being
foo.

It is clear that the alias is not being expanded.  I could not tell what
was happening in mailalias.el in the few minutes I looked at it.

Has anyone else observed this?  If so, does anyone have a fix?
