Use the alias command in .muttrc like so:

alias harry Harry Henry Gebel <hgebel@inet.net>

This command would set "harry" to equal my address. You can also have
multiple address like this:

alias a b@c.com, e@f.com
alias g a, h@i.com

after this g would equal b@c.com, e@f.com, h@i.com

.

Mutt has alias completion, so if you had an alias "associates" you could
type "assco" and then TAB and it would fill it in (or give you a menu for
multiple addresses. If you hit TAB on a empty "To:" line it will give you a
menu with all of your aliases. I think there is a command to automatically
add an alias to .muttrc, but I like to keep my aliases in order so I don't
know what that command is.
