Pretty much correct.  ('source' simply reads another file; that file
can contain any mutt configuration option, not just aliases)

set alias_file="~/.muttrc.aliases"

Doh !! Figured it was something simple... I actually just "borrowed" the 'source' entry from another .muttrc file, but don't recall a 'set' entry, and would have thought it would function the way I was asking about.


Thanks !
