That is basically the same system that TAPCIS (the e-mail system add-on for
Compuserve) uses. However, you don't even have to use an alias if the word
(or part of the word) is in the address.
The address book is a text file that you can modify using any text editor.
The pipe symbol (|) separates the address part from the alias part.
