I've probably asked this question before but did not get any answers. How
does one build aliases in MH such that the alias gets displayed with the
address used ? According to the docs I have (I'm quoting):

; using a ';' instead of a ':' indicates that the alias should be displayed
; along with the addresses used (normally, the addresses replace the alias
; completely)

Therefore:

foo: bar@machine, bee@ya-machine

will expand to bar@machine, bee@ya-machine. However,

foo; bar@machine, bee@ya-machine

should state the alias foo followed by the same addresses. Is this
correct ? 

If not, how do I get the desired behavior from the alias.

We're running MH version 6.5 (I think) under SunOS 4.0.

Thanks in advance.
