Often it is nice to type only an alias for a person's
e-mail address. This is especially useful if the person's e-mail
address often changes. To do this in Berkeley Mail do the following.
Create a file called "~/.mailrc" to store the aliases. The format of the
file appears as follows:
alias alias real-address
For example, if you want to send mail to "johndoe@glue.umd.edu" and
you want to use the alias "john", you would have:
alias john johndoe@glue.umd.edu
Whenever you use an alias ("john") address, it will be automatically
expanded to the real address ("johndoe@glue.umd.edu").
To create a list alias titled class, you would enter:
alias class addr1 addr2 addr3 addr4 ...
Where addr1 etc., would be either a previously defined
alias or a real address. For example you would have:
alias john johndoe@glue.umd.edu
alias mary marydoe@glue.umd.edu
alias does john mary bobdoe@glue.umd.edu
As with the single alias example above, when you type the list
alias, it will be expanded to the real e-mail addresses.
