Type and version: SPARC/5 8.3.5 (with mkserv)
Display type: cgsix
I just took the patch release, and it seems to have broken nmh's parsing
of my aliases's file. I have in my .mh_profile:
send: -alias aliases
ali: -alias aliases
post: -alias aliases
whom: -alias aliasas
And the file ~/Mail/aliases was readable, and worked fine under previous
versions. From the what now prompt, however, I get:
What now? s
spost: aliasing error in file aliases - unable to read 'aliases'
send: message not delivered to anyone
It seems that it only finds the file if I'm currently in my Mail
directory. Since it always knew where to look before, this is probably
a bug. Note that this wasn't a problem prior to the 8.3.5 patch release.
