At the moment, ELM only handles one alias-file ; is it possible
to add to ELM a commandline-option that will allow to use a different
alias file ? That way, alias-files can be smaller, it's easier for one-
time batch mailing (group-aliases) and the like. Of course, to be consistent,
there an option would have to be added to the alias menu as well.

I don't think it would take much programming to do - it would involve a
global variable holding the current alias file, and a bit of extra command-
line parsing. 

Please correct me if I am wrong, any comments appreciated.
