It's still useful if I could only get the little bugger to work.  It
serves the purpose of having a private, often large, alias list that
doesn't get expanded.  True, it would be nice if repl were more graceful
about the bad address...

    Phyl -

-- Your message was:   (from "John Romine")
  Is anyone using the alias file syntax:

          alias ; address-group

  I believe this was useful when there was only a system-wide alias
  file, but putting local aliases in headers isn't a good idea -- they
  won't be replyable.

  I'd like to use this syntax for a different function.  If you're
  using it the way it is now, please let me know at bug-mh@ics.uci.edu
  (ucbvax!ucivax!bug-mh).
