I am using .mailrc file now for aliases of my friends and group aliases. Also I am using BBDB which works wonderful! It automatically learns the name and email address of people whom I received mail from. Prehaps I didn't state my question clearly. For the people at Adobe whom I have never received any mail from (hence no BBDB record), what I want is to be able to expend their username (eg: jwz) to full name (first and last name) so that I know I spell their email address right. I don't know how Pine does that. Maybe it looks up somewhere in the net and give me fullname after I type in the email address. Does anyone know how Pine works this wonder? -- ^..^ '/..\" ( oo ) )~ m( oo )m ,, ,, /=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=\ | Danny Dick-Fung Siu http://www-leland.stanford.edu/~dsiu | | Reference System Group http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~dsiu | | Adobe Systems Incorporated E-Mail: | | "What do you expect from a | | Cal.
