Howdy. The 'ali' man page says:
Ali searches the named mail alias files for each of the given aliases.
It creates a list of addresses for those aliases, and writes that list
on standard output. If the `-list' option is specified, each address
appears on a separate line; otherwise, the addresses are separated by
commas and printed on as few lines as possible. With no arguments,
ali outputs all alias entries.
I do not find this to be true. When I specify multiple aliases, they always
come out on separate lines, even if I explicitly say '-nolist'. I would
like it to work like it says on the man page.
The switches -[no]list specify the format when a single alias expands
to multiple address. Not the format when multiple aliases are given.
I see. The man page could use some clarification.
