That doesn't look like "source" to me ;-). alias_file=<blah> simply specifies where to dump aliases that you create in mutt itself (ie using 'a'). To source that list, use source $HOME/.mail-Alias (BTW, there is nothing special about that file to constrain it to containing just aliases, it can have any legal mutt configuration you want) | I tried using '~' in the place of $HOME, but that didn't work | either. Right, "~" is a specialty of the shell. The shell itself expands it to $HOME. All programs (perhaps its in fopen()?) expand environment variables though. -D -- the nice thing about windoze is - it does not just crash, it displays a dialog box and lets you press 'ok' first.
