Can one avoid sending mail to one's self when mailing to members of a
group? I've looked over aliaslib.c and it looks fairly easy to
implement, but before hacking the code (and making my own life harder
when updates arrive) I thought I would ask.
I maintain several groups in our system alias file, but we all find it
annoying to send mail to our fellow group members and immediately
get beeped by newmail. It would be best to set this as an option.
If it is not already somewhere within elm, could it be added in 2.4?

Perhaps you can leave elm alone and change newmail so that it doesn't beep you when mail comes in from you yourself.
