Hello,
Re: exmh-2.7.2/misc/mafe/help/mafe.html
There was a mistake, recently corrected, in the MH/nmh
mh-alias(5) man page: a blind list must not be terminated
with a semicolon. The MAFE help page contains such
semicolons in its Introduction and Terminology sections:
2. nmh alias files can the format
friends: All-Friends:, [email protected], [email protected], ...
[email protected], ;
(note the semicolon at the end as well as the comma usage) so that
2: name: tag:, {list}, ;
Preceding the semicolon with a comma prevents its
deleterious effect. However, to avoid confusion I suggest
removing both, something like:
2. nmh alias files can the format
friends: All-Friends:, [email protected], [email protected], ...
[email protected]
(note that there is no semicolon at the end) so that
2: name: tag:, {list}
And "nmh alias files can the format" could use adjustment.
[I apologize if this is posted multiple times. I sent it a
few weeks ago and it hasn't shown up in the archive.]
Thanks,
David
