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.
