Ah, thank you. It's funny; I've used Mutt for quite a bit time now,
and I haven't come across that. :-P Well, I've never really looked
into Mutt deeper than surface, just been reading and writing my mails
with it. This indeed, comes handy.

I set up an own address book, and it "cleared" up things once again.
Now the addresses aren't in a configuration file, but nicely in a
different file altogether. Once more, thanks. I doubt I would've ever
come aware of this, if someone wouldn't have told me.
