The README.txt does not make it clear that if a site admin wishes to activate mailalias to allow an user account to be associated with multiple email addresses, the mailhandler.module *must* be installed. It is the latter that does the actual work of aggregating the content from different email accounts and authenticating against the aliases, but this is not clear enough.

A patch for documentation explains it better, but still not explicitly enough.

IMHO, the README.txt should also outline at least one scenario in which it may be necessary or nice to allow multiple email addresses to be associated with one user account. I tried to come up with a scenario, but didn't succeed.

Just trying to improve the documentation. Please correct me if I am wrong.

mailalias only needs mailhanlder if you are handlling mail. any other module might make use of aliases. i appreciate the patch, but i don't think it is a good idea.
