- aliases are not limited to one user name; they can have multiple
- user names. And, you can create aliases which consist of *other*
- aliases--creating groups of users you can categorize to your
- heart's content.

-
- Hopefully, your system administrator has set up a system-wide
- alias for all users. Look at /etc/aliases (/usr/lib/aliases
- on some systems) to see if there's an "all" or something like
- it. Otherwise, you can create one yourself.
-
- As the above suggests, elm can use system-wide aliases as well as
- those in your own aliases file.
