For example I'm subscribed to a list called uk-rid...@the-hug.net which is aliased to uk-r, or is it ukr, or ....
Fortunately I have a local mail server so mail to ukr gets bounced back to me with a non-existent destination error very quickly but it would be nice if mutt could tell me somehow. Essentially anything without an @ should be an alias, I never actually send mail to local (same system) destinations. -- Chris Green
