Go into the aliases option. Them m)ake a new alias. Give the alias name, alias full name and when you come to the address part, give a *blank* separated list of addresses of all the persons in the group (say your classmates). If this is too big, (tooo big aliases cannot be accepted by elm) and you find it tiresome to key in all addresses, there is a file $HOME/.elm/aliaes.text. The format of this file is: <aliasname> = <aliasfullname> = <address>[, <address>]... So to make a group of 3 persons a1, a2 and a3 the file can contain a1 = This is a1 = a1@a1machine a2 = This is a2 = a2@a2machine a2 = This is a2 = a2@a2machine groupa = This contains a1 a2 and a3 = a1, a2, a3 Note that this gives you two levels of aliasing. More that two levels is strictly *prohibited*. So after putting this in $HOME/.elm/aliases.text go into aliases and make a dummy alias. This make elm to hash all the entries that you faked in. if you feel, you could delete the dummy alias once through. If you dont know how to make an alias at *all*. Here is it. go into o)ptions. Make yourself an intermediate user.[U)ser <space>] get into a)lias. chose m)ake an alias. D.P.Suresh dps@esd.sgi.com
