Slight change to something more on-topic for the list than Apple Mail ;)

I have an aliases file in ~/.mutt/aliases and then in my .muttrc I  
have the following:

# Get aliases
source $HOME/.mutt/aliases
set alias_file = $HOME/.mutt/aliases

In the aliases file is

alias somename Real Name <email at address>

I then just mail 'somename' and it expands it.. I didn't really use  
it all that much though because I only have 2 addresses in there.  
Mostly I just remember people's email addresses or grep my mailbox.
