Ah, thank you. It's funny; I've used Mutt for quite a bit time now, and I haven't come across that. :-P Well, I've never really looked into Mutt deeper than surface, just been reading and writing my mails with it. This indeed, comes handy. > To use these aliases, you must also load the alias-file somewhere in > your .muttrc by adding the line 'source ~/.addressbook' replacing > ~/.addressbook with the name you choose. > Example: I recieve a message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] I type 'a' and it > prompts me to enter a nickname: 'bie'.

Now the addresses aren't in a configuration file, but nicely in a different file altogether. Once more, thanks. I doubt I would've ever come aware of this, if someone wouldn't have told me. -- Jussi Ekholm, "Everything is so fine it could be a little, ill flower don't let your mind take you in misery [EMAIL PROTECTED] all the feelings you're not so much pleased http://oghabe.cjb.net they're just to take you to sweet harmony"
