[comp.mail.elm] Preventing alias expansion in To: lines?

lgy@phys.washington.edu (Laurence G. Yaffe) (10/04/90)

    When sending mail to an alias listing a large group of recipients,
is there any way to prevent the expansion of the alias (into the full list
of recipients) in the To: line of resulting message?  This expansion creates
a real nuisance when you receive a message whose To: line overflows buffers
in various mail handling programs and which pointlessly fills your screen.
(I realize that preventing this alias expansion also prevents the
recipients from doing a 'group' reply - but nevertheless this choice
should be left to the person sending mail, not forced by the MUA.)
