Okay, then please try the attached diff against m_muttalias, which
should support your converted elm aliases, but it is not fully tested
(I don't know whether there are other side effects).

AFAIK Mutt doesn't support comments in the aliases. So you should
think about writing a m_elm (or m_elmalias) module like m_pine to
directly use the elm aliases with lbdb instead of converting them to
the less powerful mutt alias format. This m_elm module may write
the alias to the 3rd column of the mutt query format.
Tschoeeee
