I'm using mailx on a SysV R3.1 3B2/400. 90% of my email has addresses that
begin:
njsmu!princeton!njin!rutgers!
Is there any way to assign that string to a key or alias or ??? so that
I don't have to type it every time? I tried an alias in .mailrc but
that didn't work. I can assign the string to a function key on my
console, but then I can't get to it from my remote login sites.
Thanks.
Pete
