+@vindex message-mail-alias-type
+The @code{message-mail-alias-type} variable controls what type of mail
+alias expansion to use. Currently only one form is supported---Message
+uses @code{mailabbrev} to handle mail aliases. If this variable is
+@code{nil}, no mail alias expansion will be performed.
+
@code{mailabbrev} works by parsing the @file{/etc/mailrc} and
@file{~/.mailrc} files. These files look like:
@item valid-newsgroups
Check whether the @code{Newsgroups} and @code{Followup-to} headers
are valid syntactically.
+@item repeated-newsgroups
+Check whether the @code{Newsgroups} and @code{Followup-to} headers
+contains repeated group names.
@item shorten-followup-to
Check whether to add a @code{Followup-to} header to shorten the number
of groups to post to.
