I have a problem with the alias mechanism :
I have a long alias list, which probably gets silently truncated by
newalias :
syco = groupe responsables SYCO = jph@loria, jmp@loria, mchaton@loria,
masini@loria, carbo@loria, fohr@loria,
charp@loria, jcj@loria, romary@loria,
wrobel@loria, laasri@loria, maitre@loria,
azim@loria, abelaid@loria, ybelaid@loria,
boyer@loria, gong@loria, bonneau@loria,
thirion@loria, ziou@loria, quan@loria,
ingleber@loria, qiang@loria, falex@loria,
guyot@loria, brault@loria, jfmari@loria,
bourjot@loria, laprie@loria, wuli@loria
gets truncated with guyot@l, resulting in an error message "uucp site
l not resgistered" !!!!!
Is that a known bug or have I made an error in compiling the elm
system ???

The only way that I've been able to make this work is to create an
alias for each of the people that you have addresses for, and then
put the alias in the group.
In other words, you cannot make an alias out of a group of adresses,
but you can make an alias out of a group of aliases.

I prefer to call it a known limitation, albiet Elm is none too graceful about it, yes if any line in any file is too long, Elm will truncate it. Lengths vary but most are over 512 bytes long. -- ===================================================================== Sydney S. Weinstein, CDP, CCP Elm Coordinator Datacomp Systems, Inc.

You *can* make a group out of addresses or previously defined aliases.

I asked the original question and now see followups to followups about the subject. But the problem is that our newsfeed here in France seemed to be cut off for a couple of days without recovering the lost articles (don't ask why... the problem is not local to our site, I noticed the same at a site at INRIA Paris, the "backbone" of Fnet). So now, I still haven't seen any answers to my question (why are long aliases cut off without warning ?), if there were any. Sorry for it, but if some kind person could mail me a summary of the answers, manu thanks in advance.
