The functions build-mail-abbrevs and build-mail-aliases are very
similar. However, build-mail-abbrevs ignores comments (anything in a
line that follows `# ') while build-mail-aliases doesn't do that.
Why does it matter? The code in build-mail-aliases only looks
for certain kinds of lines, which start with `source' or `alias'
or `group'. Comment lines ought to be ignored anyway, as far
as I can see.
Have you encountered a particular case that fails?
If so, please send a precise test case, and I'll debug it.
