When /usr/ucb/Mail sees a line in ~/.mailrc like the following:
alias wdave 'David MacKenzie <djm@wam.umd.edu>'
alias wdave 'djm@wam.umd.edu (David MacKenzie)'
it sends the mail to djm@wam.umd.edu.
But when emacs (M-x mail) sees it, it sends the mail to
'David, MacKenzie, and djm@wam.umd.edu.  (bounce, bounce)
Multiple usernames in aliases should be separated only by commas, not
whitespace.
