   This doesn't work for me  since I'm on  a client machine  and that would
   require modifying the server's alias file, which is not reasonable.  Any
   other ideas?

I've never tried it personally, but if you have MH 6.5 or later there
is supposedly the notion of a blind list, where you use something like

	To: my work mates: staff;

where staff refers to an alias you have set up normally.  MH expands
the alias normally for purposes of sending, but what is received looks
like

	To: my work mates: ;

without the actual alias (or its expansion).  Is this more useful?
