mail bug

I have an alias file for mail, which essentially contains the following:
foo: user1, user2
bar: foo, user3

when I "comp" a message and start with
To: bar
...

the response is as follows
What now? whom
user1... deliverable
user2... deliverable
user3... deliverable

but when I type
What now? send

I get:
>>> RCPT To:<foo>
<<< 550 <foo>... User unknown: No such file or directory
550 foo... User unknown

So, an alias inside an alias seems to work for "whom" but not for "send"...
I don't really care which action occurs, but it should be consistent, shouldn't
it?
