How do I use an alias file in Mutt?
A mutt alias file allows users to assign shortcut names to addresses. An alias defined in the alias file can be used as a target of another alias, but only real email address should be enclosed by brackets. Here is an example that creates two aliases for two email addresses, and then a third alias which referrs to both the aliases.
alias johnny John Doe <jdoe@upenn.edu>
alias jenny Jennifer Smith <js@upenn.edu>
alias friends johnny,jenny
Now the user can simply enter "friends" to address both jdoe@upenn and js@upenn in mutt. Note that the following format will not work correctly:
alias friends <johnny>,<jenny> <-- This will not work because only real email addresses should be enclosed by brackets
