How to make an address list in mutt

Question

I use Mutt as my main client and use the alias command quite frequently.

How to group mail addresses, or—even better—aliases into a list I can then use like an alias to send mail to?

Answer 1

Create a file with the following content:

alias my_alias1 recipient1@email, recipient1@email
alias my_alias2 recipient3@email, recipient4@email

Source it from your mutt config with source path/to/alias_file.

Answer 2

~/myalias.list:

alias my_alias1 recipient1@email, recipient1@email, [email protected]

---

~/.muttrc:

source ~/myalias.list 

I would like to be able to use this alias with mutt (-b for BCC):

$ mutt -b my_alias1
