A couple people responded, and I got it straightened out.  The root of the
problem was that I trusted nidump to give me an alias file in the right
format.  nidump produces lines that look like:

	Mike_Ashley: jashley

However, the Next Mail application insists on lines that look like:

	Mike_Ashley:jashley

Yeah, going back to the documentation, you can see that there is no
space in their expamples, but it isn't strikingly clear to me.  How I
got off onto thinking it was a problem with Netinfo configuration 
is a mystery to me; excuse me while I go soak my head.


Thanks!
Mike
