When using an alias that defines a group of people, (e.g. mygroup = MY GROUP = anna, bob, yolanda, ziggy) how can I get ELM to not expand the aliases on the To: line. Currently, when I mail to mygroup, the To: line shows To: anna (Anna B.), bob (Bob C.), yolanda (Yolanda Z.), ziggy (Ziggy Stardust) If this is not possible, is there any way to specify an alias for the Bcc: line from the command line? Thanks for any help, Wes -- # wesley john (708) 384-1921 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign # wjohn@UIUCVMD wjohn@uiuc.edu ..!{uunet, ihnp4}!uiucuxc!uiucux1!wjohn

No, there is no way to prevent Elm from expanding the list on the To:
line. This is done so that Elm can tell the MTA who to deliver it to.
I suggest using MTA based aliases for those you wish to not have
expanded.

While this question is not specifically elm related... is there a way to have a personal list of MTA based aliases? At AMD we use sendmail.
