I understand that there are many ways to get around with my
problem. But I still think mutt should support that as a
feature.

In that case, yes. But what if I want to sort my addressbook
accroding to the firstname, or lastname, or nick name??
Here is my proposal for the format of .mutt.alias:
Alias: I-love-mutt
First Name: Shao [optional]
Middle Name: Ying [optional]
Last Name: Zhang [optional]
Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Info: my phonenumber is 123.
Alias: I-love-mutt-too
First Name: Shao [optional]
Middle Name: Ying [optional]
Last Name: Zhang [optional]
Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Addr: my address is mutt street
Now, with this, users can customise the fields they want. Eg,
they can take out the middle name if they think it is no need.
And they can add additional fields such as Info, Addr, or
whatever. Then users can customise the alias browser to display
certain fields, and can search certain fields and so on.
I am not trying to say mutt should implement a complete address
book, and I think the above is very *reasonable* for a mailer.
Thanks.
Shao
