It seems to work quite well so far; I get output like

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  DavidTG @ hushmail      alias me-hushmail
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]     DavidTG bulbs @ bigfoot alias me-bulbs-bigfoot
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]   David @ BigFoot alias me-bigfoot
  ...

and only wonder if the "alias" should really be there.

Yeah; I had to modify elmaliasconv.pl to take my comments and put 'em
on a comment line before the actual alias definition.  Ah, well...


% think about writing a m_elm (or m_elmalias) module like m_pine to
% directly use the elm aliases with lbdb instead of converting them to
% the less powerful mutt alias format.  This m_elm module may write
% the alias to the 3rd column of the mutt query format.

Thanks for the idea; I might.  For now, though, I'm pretty happy!
