05.17 Can I have aliases include aliases?

Indeed, you can.
You just need to remember the way MH expands aliases. In particular,
the right hand sides are only expanded by the aliases below them in
your aliases file. So, if you put in:
dead-men: presidents, authors
presidents: washington, lincoln, jefferson, roosevelt
authors: thoreau, irving, london
and type:
ali dead-men
then you would get the response:
washington, lincoln, jefferson, roosevelt, thoreau, irving, london
If you had the dead-men line after the presidents and authors
aliases, the response would be:
presidents, authors
