Is the 'sourcing' means the same thing as that in bash script? I write
'. ~/.mail_aliases' in the .muttrc, but mutt said it's an syntax error.
On the hand, I found my .muttrc has some default alias definitions like
what you guy said. For example:
alias mutt-users Mutt User List <mutt-users@mutt.org>
I tried to use this alias by pressing <tab> after I inputted words
'mutt-users' after the 'To:' header in mutt. But I still got nothing.
Is there something to do with my message editor? Here it is vim.
Thanks.

I can't go back to yesterday - because I was a different person then.
