What were you trying to do?
	I used "telnet" from a Mac in the Sloan lab to telnet to 
	athena and send some e-mail.

What's wrong:
	For some reason, when using telnet it didn't use my aliases file.
	It added "@mit.edu" to all the receivers instead of using the aliases
	I have set up in my Mail/aliases file. This does not happen when I
	am logged in directly to an Athena terminal.

What should have happened:
	It should have properly read my .mh_profile and aliases file rather
	than assuming everybody was at mit.edu. That's what it does normally,
	just not when I telnet in from a Mac or PC.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	I presume the aliases file is described in the mh documentation.
