Using the supplied sendmail on our systems (SUN 3/1xx 3.4, SGI 3030's GL3.6)
if you send mail to a defined group that group name is expanded in the header
and every recipient sees the entire list.  How does one change that
behavior such that the default, automatic behavior is to print the alias
used.  I know I can put the alias in the Bcc: field and I should get the
behavior I want, but I would like to set it up so it is automatic.

If this is relatively simple (as I think it should be), just email me;
I'll summarize.  Thanks,
		mike
