Howard): >What are you doing with an alias for some remote site that is the >same as a username for the local machine? We have two machines. I have a login "chip" on each one. However, I always read my mail on one of them. So the other machine aliases "chip" (a local user) to "chip@otherhost". >Therefore, if the expansion works for the 'm' command _and_ I have >an alias that is equal to a local username I can never send any >mail to that user. Not so. You can always mail to "user@localhost". -- Chip, the new t.b answer man ,
