Perhaps the best way to accomplish what you want to accomplish
 is to create a .mailrc file with the aliases in it.  It would
  look something like this:

alias gnu-misc-discuss gnu-misc-discuss@cis.ohio-state.edu
alias info-gnu-emacs info-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu
alias poppy gbush@whitehouse.fed.gov
alias vms-gnu-emacs vms-gnu-emacs@harvard.harvard.edu

That would make the aliases work even if (horror of horrors)
 you actually had to use a standard Unix tool instead of Emacs.
