I want to be able to have macros that will expand to such things as
domain names which can be used anywhere.  For example I send a lot of
mail to *different* users at both my work domain (kbss.bt.co.uk) and
my home domain (isbd.demon.co.uk).  It would be nice if I could set up
(two character?) macros that would expand to these domains rather than
having to type them in every time.

Aliases don't help as they expect to be a full email address (or can
aliases be used for parts of names?). I don't send mail frequently
enough to specific users at isbd.demon.co.uk for it to be worth creating
aliases for them but I do send mail very frequently to <different
names>@isbd.demon.co.uk so a quick way of entering @isbd.demon.co.uk
would be very useful.

The existing macro facility doesn't help because the macros
are only detected at the beginning of any command.

I don't think this can be done in mutt at the moment but I think it
would be useful - what do others think regarding adding it to the
wish-list?
