Mutt lets you create an address book of frequently-used addresses with the alias command. This command lets you define a short “alias” which is automatically expanded to one or more e-mail addresses by Mutt before the message is sent. Here’s an example, type the folowing in the mutt application.:

aliasjoe joe.gobby@example.com

You can also create group aliases, by using multiple e-mail addresses separated with commas. Here’s an example:

aliasfridayclubjoe.gobby@example.com,layla@domain.net,ex@ample.info

You can enter a line in your .muttrc as follows as well.

alias George George Dubya <gdubya@comcast.net>
