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.

TIA/jtw

 Leave To: empty and use Bcc:, 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?

TIA

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