`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
