Message-ID: <8912131727.AA02600@hub.ucsb.edu> Date: 13 Dec 89 17:27:24 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 24 After looking through the code, I notice that neither "dist" nor "post", which it invokes, use the "-alias" switch. All the other user front ends, such as "repl", and "comp" use "-alias". Is this intentional? I am about to reach the critical mass level of frustration and dive in and change the code to use the "-alias" switch for "dist". Also, I notice that "post" doesn't even reference the ".mh_profile". Is this also intentional? This means that, even if it did support the "-alias" switch, you couldn't use the command line feature of the profile: post: post -alias Aliases Can someone shed some light on this?
