Environment: emacs version 18.55, sun4 sunos4
Problem: niether define-mail-alias, nor build-mail-aliases seem
	 to handle :include: construct in alias properly

I have a line like:
alias me :include:me.test

in my ~/.mailrc file and me.test reads:
allen@banyan.ssc.gov, allen@sscvx1.ssc.gov

then mailing to "me" fails.  The error message from sendmail is:
554 :include:me.test... Cannot mail directly to :include:s
554 :include:me.test... Possible alias loop
554 No valid recipients

	Those Who Planned;
And the minds who planned the Tower of Babel
	Cared nothing for the workers who built it.
