Surely this has been done. Can anyone give a hand?? (I also had/have a hard time finding this information in the manual - adding an "address book" item to the index would probably be a good idea). Either install the BBDB program (which I know little about) or fill out the ~/.mailrc file like this: ===================== # Comment alias you "Phil Humpherys " alias gnus "ding@gnus.org" alias youandgnus you gnus ===================== Hope this helps... -- Regards, Anders (address is valid) Department of Redundancy Department
