Hello,

I'm not a regular to this list, but I have a simple question: how
can I hide (or rename) all of this addresses in my To: or Cc: lists?

I use the basic "mail" program on UNIX and I have a very detailed
.mailrc file with several large aliases.  It is a real pain for my
readers to scan through a header that is often an order of magnitude
larger than the actual message.  Is there a way to hide the To: (and Cc:)
lines of the header, or better yet, to give the whole list a logical
name that is used in the To: and Cc: lines?

I know this is possible in the /etc/aliases file, but I have no
control over that file.  Is their a mechanism I can use on my
personal .mailrc file?

Thanks,
Bryan Basham
