I'm trying to get elm to handle a rather large mailing list.  At first, I
just put all the targets into one long line after the alias.  However,
newalias informed me that the line was too long, and that it was possible
to split it by using white-space at the beginning of each entry.  So I tried
it.  Now the error message I get is to the effect of:
** Bad alias name: user@machinename.domainname

How do I get around this?  What is the proper way to format a large list?
