Use an alias file. This is the section of my .muttrc
# alias file setup
set alias_file=~/.mutt_aliases
source ~/.mutt_aliases
Then in the .mutt_aliases file, use:
alias name email@address.com
Each on it's own line. When you send a new message, you can use the
"name" from above in the "To:" line. If you want to scroll through
your aliases, hit Tab when mutt asks for To:
