The wiki muttguide/aliases page
Is it me or is there something wrong with this page. http://dev.mutt.org/trac/wiki/MuttGuide/Aliases I see all sorts of HTML tags throughout the page. -- Chris Green
Confused by the Defining/Using Aliases section of the manual
I've been looking into how to improve my mutt addressbook/aliases and statred by looking at the Defining/Using Aliases section. I'm now more confused than I was before! I can understand the Usage: bit at least but then it goes rapidly downhill. It says:- Note If you want to create an alias for more than one address, you must separate the addresses with a comma (“,”). Er, but that disagrees with the Usage: doesn't it? It should (the Usage:) say alias [ -group name ...] key address [, address ...]. Anyway I don't really understand what is meant by create an alias for more than one address - does it really mean an alias which will allow sending mail to more than one address when the alias is used? Then it says:- To remove an alias or aliases (“*” means all aliases): followed by an example which seems to be *adding* aliases. It also doesn't seem to show one of the very useful attributes of aliases, they can refer to other aliases defined already. -- Chris Green

Re: Confused by the Defining/Using Aliases section of the manual
Incoming from Chris Green:
If you want to create an alias for more than one address, you must
separate the addresses with a comma (“,”).
Er, but that disagrees with the Usage: doesn't it? It should (the
Usage:) say alias [ -group name ...] key address [, address ...].
I've not looked at the manual section in a long time, but I can say
(addys obfuscated):
alias dk Derek Keeling y...@blah.net
alias ek Elizabeth Keeling f...@woohoo.com
alias mom Mary Lawrence kac...@foo.com
alias family dk,ek,mom
email to family goes to all of them.
It also doesn't seem to show one of the very useful attributes of
aliases, they can refer to other aliases defined already.
Ibid. Or did I completely miss your point?
