- `Scuze me if this is a VTQ (Very Trivial Question) but I have the following
- problem: I have a LONG list of aliases in my .mailrc file, and I would like to
- list each person's *real* name on the same line with their alias and e-mail
- address. E.g.,
-
- alias john userjohn@his.address.etc # John Smith
-
- However, the above example doesn't work. I've tried a few other variations
- without luck. I would like to put the comment on the SAME line as the alias
- since otherwise, doing it like
-
- # John Smith
- alias john userjohn@his.address.etc
-
- for each address would make for a Very Long List (tm). Also, having it all on
- one line makes it easier to grep the address/alias if I have forgotten it.
-
- Mail any suggestions to me at joel@hrssun.gsfc.nasa.gov

- thanx,
