Does anyone know how to set up group aliases on Berkeley mail, Pine or ELM 2.3
so that the receiver cannot see the names of the other people in the group
alias on the "To:" line?

ELM will print the email address with the name defined in aliases.text in
brackets for everyone in the group alias on the 'To:' line.

e.g. if the aliases.text reads:

a1 = x = add1
a2 = y = add2
a3 = z = add3
test = test = add1,add2,add3

then on sending mail to 'test' the 'To:' line on the receivers' mail reads:

To: add1(x), add2(y), add3(z)

Is there any way of customizing ELM, Pine or Berkeley mail so that only the
receiver's address or only the names (x,y,z) appear on the 'To:' line?

Thank you in advance.
