I can't tell you if it is an OS/2 only problem, but it works, after a
fashion in Win NT.  If the field being tested matches what is in the
address book exactly it will work.  If you changed the alias in the
book it doesn't register as a hit.  

To put it more clearly, if "Trevor Smith <trevor@haligonian.com>" is in
the header and I've changed the address book entry to have an alias of
TS with the name and email address the same it won't work.  If I leave
the alias alone when I have PMMail create the address book entry it
will work.  I can't remember if this worked the same way under OS/2,
but I think it did.
