My nn is PL 18 and knows about the variable mail-alias-expander
(note the spelling, is it a typo of yours or did you really use
the incorrect name?). I checked for the variable by typing
":set mail-" and then hitting the "?" key.

PL 17 and PL 18 are official, Kim F.Storm has given the right
to stamp patches "official" to Peter Wemm, peter@dialix.oz.au.

Peter has issued PL 19 to 22 (a four part patch due to its
size) to the nn development list today as a gamma release.
There are a few portability issues with compilation on SunOS,
which have been found so far. If PL 19-22 is stable, it will be
officially released to the public in mid january 1993. The new
patch fixes mostly known bugs, cleans up the code and adds
portability to some more platforms (AUX, NeXT, DecStation
Ultrix, DomainOS support improved).

As a special highlight, PL 19 is going to support national
character sets in a primitive, but MIME conformant way and
supports external pagers such as metamail.
