>Description:
I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature. For, me, it's a bug :)
/usr/bin/mail parses ~/.mailrc and expands aliases in an unexpected way, e.g. for such an entry
--- snip ---
alias stefan important@internet.com # that's me
--- snip ---
/usr/bin/mail sends out email to 4 recipients:
1. important@internet.com
2. #
3. that's
4. me
I'm also using emacs/rmail which expands aliases from ~/.mailrc, but only up to the #. That's more intuitive.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
A fix could stop reading beyond # in usr.bin/mail/list.c:getrawlist(). See attachment.
