Instead of manually adding aliases to your .muttrc, if the "alias-file"
variable is set, the default binding of the 'a' key in the index and the
pager adds an alias from the currently selected message to your
addressbook.  
To use these aliases, you must also load the alias-file somewhere in
your .muttrc by adding the line 'source ~/.addressbook' replacing
~/.addressbook with the name you choose.
Example: I recieve a message from newUser@debian.org.  I type 'a' and it
prompts me to enter a nickname: 'bie'.  From then on, when I type 'bie'
in the To: field, 'newUser@debian.org' is substituted.
