 Tell your sysadmin to install GNU/Mailman from http://www.list.org
 (or Majordomo, or whatever).  It is not a mutt thing.

-: or set up a proper mailing list.

I suspect this is what I'm wanting to do.  Is this
a mutt-thing, or do I have to go fight my sysadmin?

Then how do you expect the mail go to worker1, worker2, ...?

And what purpose is the alias other than to expand? If you
remove it it won't expand.

 Leave To: empty and use Bcc:, or set up a proper mailing list.




alias list expansion

2001-05-15 Thread JT Williams

Hi,

How can I request that mutt does *not* expand an alias list?
Suppose I have

alias   foo-workers worker1, worker2, ...

and I send a message to `foo-workers'; I do *not* want the To:
field to be expanded into the names of everyone on that list.
