mutt trouble

[sandip <sandip@escortsmumbai.com>]

mutt does not recognize my alias file!

here are relevant sections from .muttrc file:

# Alias ###################################################################
set sort_alias = alias
set reverse_alias = yes
set alias_file = "~/.alias"
#set alias_format = "%4n %t %-10a   %r"

here is a sample entry in ~/.alias file:

alias someuser RealName <someone@somewhere.com>

now, when at To: prompt, i type some and hit tab, nothing happens!

any suggestions?

thanx in advance
