Here's a thought. Have you looked into the Little Brother's Database?
It's a really neat tool for accessing a collection of various address
databases from one interface. You could use the m_muttalias and m_ldap
modules to query both your mutt aliases file and your LDAP server. Then
you could either let mutt display all the addresses found, as it usually
does, or you could define mutt's query_command like this:
set query_command="lbdbq '%s' | sed '3,\$d'"
and select only the first result returned by lbdbq. You can configure
lbdbq so that the first result is the one from your mutt aliases file.
And of course the solution using sed assumes that you always want the
first result and it won't even show you multiple matches, but maybe you
can tune this to get what you want in your situation.
