When I want to send an existing file {file} to a user with address {user@site},
and not include any extra comments in it, I just do

	mhmail {user@site}  <  {file}

This seems to be the most efficient way (certainly better than calling
up an editor from comp and reading the file in there).

But apparently I can't use any of my aliases in place of {user@site} in
this situation.  Having a line "post: -alias aliasfile" in the .mh_profile 
doesn't help because  post  doesn't consult the .mh_profile.  Does anyone
know a good way around this?
