The function expand-mail-aliases doesn't work when there is more than
one recipient specified on a To: line. This is due to bad REGEXPs in
the function for breaking out the addresses for (assoc .. ...) to
match.
I would guess the people who wrote the code don't consider this a bug.
Following RFC822, you're supposed to separate multiple addresses with
commas. If you put commas between the addresses, Emacs will expand all of
the aliases.
I nominate this question for the frequently asked question list for this
newsgroup. Since no one is maintaining such a list now, I volunteer to
do it.
Send me your nominations for the FAQ list. I'll put together a summary of
the questions to be on the list and post it by the end of next week.
Then, within 3 to 4 weeks, I'll post the complete list of questions with
answers. Thereafter, I propose to distribute it every 2 months.
I propose that the list will cover FAQs in these groups:
gnu.emacs
gnu.emacs.bug
gnu.emacs.gnus
gnu.emacs.gnews
gnu.emacs.vms
