You can always select the address with the mouse, hit 'a', type in an
alias name, and when it presents the suggested address delete it (using
Ctrl-U) and paste. Clumsy but works and saves you editing the alias file
manually. You could almost certainly knock up a script to do what pine
does if you wanted.
