datri@convex.com (Anthony A. Datri) (10/23/89)
One or another of the help files has a key called "ms-aliases", but we don't seem to have it. I just want to define aliases that I can send to in sendmessage.
nsb@THUMPER.BELLCORE.COM (Nathaniel Borenstein) (10/24/89)
I dunno where the help file has gone to, but to define personal aliases, just create a file called ~/.AMS_aliases and put each alias/expansion pair on a separate line, e.g. datri convex!convex.com!datri@uunet.uu.net borenstein nsb@thumper.bellcore.com As of the next release (Messages 7.XX) you will be able to also specify how to handle Andrew formatting in outgoing mail by using the aliases file; the following line, for example, would say that mail to me can always be sent in multimedia format, without the dialog box asking if that is OK: $forcesend nsb@thumper.bellcore.com Hope that helps. -- Nathaniel
