Documentation

Non-nil means the gecos field in the password file uses a comma separator.

In the example in mh-alias-local-users-prefix, commas are used to separate different values within the so-called gecos field. This is a fairly common usage. However, in the rare case that the gecos field in your password file is not separated by commas and whose contents may contain commas, you can turn this option off.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in MH-E version
7.4.
