Hi,

   If you use the "alias<whitespace>phone<whitespace>verbose_to" form you could
   easily parse the file with awk. alias=$1, phone=$2 and verbose_to=<the_rest>.

That's what I'd like to have. I've initiated this
because there is a need to have this data available
when patching the sender's name and phone no. into a
Postscript header page which is generated each time a
user sends a fax. This is networked, BTW. 

Ciao,
