How to use ALIASES with EMACS RMAIL

               << How to use aliases in rmail >>

To use aliases in rmail in emacs, you must first create a .mailrc
file and modify your .emacs file.  In your .emacs file, add the
line:

        (setq mail-aliases t)

Then create a ~/.mailrc file.  In this, include any aliases you wish
to use.  For example, if you want two lists, friends, and users:

        alias friends joeuser bhacker@iastate.edu qqsmith
        alias users jqfoo rmstar@berkeley.edu oops@tree

should be put in .mailrc.  Then if you send to friends, your message
will go to joeuser, bhacker, and qqsmith.  And users will go to
jqfoo, oops, and rmstar.
