I very much appreciate your suggestion! I was working with a large alias
file, and what you suggest has much more sense. I did not came across
$query_command (mutt is a constant discovery!), and I am going to
explore this possibility a bit further.

Thanks very much for the encouragement! I will try to put something
together when I have worked a bit more on this. I have had a look at The
Little Brother's Database (lbdb) http://www.spinnaker.de/lbdb/. The idea
should be to deploy my google contacts into a some database (sqlite)
and then access it with the appropriate query command. 

Thanks! Cheers!
