The \allauthors command does not include any information in the \altaffiliation commands

[gregschwarz]

Describe the bug
The \allauthor command prints all the authors and affiliations at the end of the manuscript. It is useful when you have many authors and don't want the front matter taking up so many pages. It is also used when you want to suppress the affiliation information in the front matter with the \suppressAffiliations command. What is not shown is any information contained in the \altaffiliation commands.

To Reproduce
The attached file is a minimum working example to illustrate the problem.

mwe.txt

This AASTeX v7.0.1 file uses the \suppressAffiliations command to remove the affiliations from the front matter while the \allauthor command shows the full author and affiliation lists at the end, sans the altafiliations. See the compiled version.

mwe.pdf

Expected behavior
The \allauthor command should similar front matter and include the information in \altaffiliation commands.

Additional context
The only work around is to put the \altaffiliation command information in an additional \affiliation command.
Note that this problem affects AASTeX v6+ and v7+.

I just want to chime in that, at least in AASTeX v7.0.1, no affiliation information at all is displayed with the \allauthor macro when using \suppressAffiliations in the frontmatter, not just \altaffiliation, as the example in the issue clearly demonstrates. I haven't checked if this is also the case for AASTeX v6.x.

I found that adding \global\suppressAffiliationsfalse before \allauthors is a workaround to get normal \affiliations to show up at the end. This doesn't fix the original reported issue, however, that \altaffiliation only shows footnotes on the first page.
