When using aliases mutt displays in the browse mode the senders 
real name. If you do something like this: 

alias Barny Barny Gumbel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 

and you receive a message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] it looks like this:

 48     Sep 19 Barny Gumbel ( 185)  Flaming Moe

If you now try to display only messages from Barny using l ~f Barny 
mutt will not find messages which matches the pattern. To do
this you have to type something like l ~f duff because mutt only 
appraise the original mail headers. 

Is there a way to tell mutt to use the alias as substitute for original
from header?

thanks,
Lars
