[comp.mail.misc] private mailing lists?

tep@tots.Logicon.COM (Tom Perrine) (02/26/91)

I use GNU Emacs RMAIL and Mail modes on Sun 3s and Sun 4s.

I would like to establish private mailing lists via aliases in my
.mailrc file (which Emacs read just fine). In these lists I would like
to use full RFC addresses (see below).

However, the format of .mailrc does not seem to allow white space in
an address.

I have tried a gazillion different combinations of quotes and other
magic characters, but every whitespsace character becomes a new
address, e.g.


alias my-friends "Tom Perrine <tep@tots.Logicon.COM>"

yields

	tom, perrine, <tep@tots.Logicon.COM>

as three different addresses.

I know I can do this with alias lists in sendmail.cf, but I would
rather do this in my own mailrc if possible. I know about the "remote"
alias list feature of sendmail, but thats not what I really want.

For now, I just paste in a file that has the addresses I want.

Any other suggestions?
