- PMDF personal aliases don't seem to be recognized by the POP3 server. A
- faculty member is trying to send broadcast messages to a lot of users
- without every username appearing in the message header. We get
- satisfactory results with VMS Mail using IN%<personal-alias>, with
- <personal-alias> pointing to a distribution file, but not via Eudora on a
- Mac to the POP3 server. Unfortunately, nicknames in Eudora don't work
- either because it seems to expand them also. The Eudora FM (of RTFM fame)
- doesn't seem to mention anything about how to make nicknames terse.
-
- Any advice for the perpetually verbose?
-
- Thanks,
