I *just* tried it on another system that is running Elm v2.3 PL11.  I
tried sending mail to an alias I had created that goes:

tester1 = tester2 = tester3

I sent mail to 'tester1' and I saw 'tester1' in the To: field of the
headers.  So, right now I'd say that PL11 has the same problem.

Also, if I run newalias, why doesn't Elm check MY aliases, I'm not
interested in what the system's aliases are, I'd like for Elm to do
the error checking & updating of the alias.* files in MY ~/.elm/.
