When I want to send an existing file {file} to a user with address {user@site}, and not include any extra comments in it, I just do mhmail {user@site} < {file} This seems to be the most efficient way (certainly better than calling up an editor from comp and reading the file in there). But apparently I can't use any of my aliases in place of {user@site} in this situation. Having a line "post: -alias aliasfile" in the .mh_profile doesn't help because post doesn't consult the .mh_profile. Does anyone know a good way around this? ...............................................................................
