Yes, I understand how it works once it is set-up. My question is whether I am missing something about the set-up process. Going through my bbdb finding all the list members, and then adding the list name to mail-alias seems like a lot of work compared to typing the list name followed by a list fo recipients. Is there an easier way? - perhaps an elisp snippet bbdb-mannage-list that lets me enter a list name and then type (with completion of course!) the members of my list? That would be useful. Instead however, I simply use .mailrc. My mailing list needs are meager anyhow.
