No, just hasty. Look again; it's an fcc-save-hook. I've read that outgoing
mail can be procmailed but also that it's a pain. The complaint is really
about having to specify the same alias multiple times anyway, so procmail would
just make things worse.
If mutt can't or won't be reorganized in a better way, maybe somebody (else ;-)
could write a script to take alias definitions and produce lists of save-hooks
and fcc-save-hooks. A similar neat trick would be to simultaneously define
mailing lists in both your .procmailrc and .muttrc, i.e.
!listdefine mutt-users [EMAIL PROTECTED]
