`Scuze me if this is a VTQ (Very Trivial Question) but I have the following problem: I have a LONG list of aliases in my .mailrc file, and I would like to list each person's *real* name on the same line with their alias and e-mail address. E.g., alias john userjohn@his.address.etc # John Smith However, the above example doesn't work. I've tried a few other variations without luck. I would like to put the comment on the SAME line as the alias since otherwise, doing it like # John Smith alias john userjohn@his.address.etc for each address would make for a Very Long List (tm). Also, having it all on one line makes it easier to grep the address/alias if I have forgotten it. Mail any suggestions to me at joel@hrssun.gsfc.nasa.gov thanx, joel "no fancy .sig" parker
