Thank you, David; that appears to be an excellent solution. I like it. I have not verified by experiment, but it appears that a problem with using Mutt and an alias list is that the alias list, which is delimited by comma and space (perhaps the space is optional), needs to be a single line, and that may cause a buffer overflow in the case of many addresses.
