There are a number of user-interface bugs in the "MH Aliases" dialog box;
I'll take a shot at describing all the ones I found.
1) Double-clicking to select a word should result in all of the word being
highlighted. This is not what is happening; the last character is always
left out unless it is explicitly selected.
2) Pressing <Return> results in a character insertion; what it should do
instead is, at least in my opinion, to "Insert" the entry, though having
it do nothing would also be acceptable.
3) I managed to get the "Alias Browser" into a state where I would type
in a new alias, click insert, and it would instead select the first item
in the list of available aliases, failing to insert the desired alias.
This may be related to the <Return> problem mentioned above, as I noticed
this behavior after attempting to use <Return> to do the insert, but it
went away when I dismissed the browser and started it again.
4) At least for the "Addresses" box, the "Change" option seems to do
nothing. If you select an existing address, the entry field changes to
reflect that address, and if you then edit the text entry field, the
currently selected address is un-selected, thus making it impossible to
tell the "Alias Browser" _which_ address to change.
5) I was making a simple mapping alias, to match just the name of the
list (ietf-ircup) to the full email address (ietf-ircup@imc.org). I
had to look up the "@imc.org" part, and so went to my folder which contained
a few of the messages that were sent to this list, and selected one; Exmh
automatically inserted the address in the "From" header of that email into
the text entry field, throwing away the text I had already typed (predictably,
the string "ietf-ircup@").
I would guess that there are other bugs in this bit of code, as well.
Enjoy...
