> Does mutt has an address book ?
Mutt has aliases, which you can accumulate in your .muttrc, and which can be
used as a shorthand for helping to remember the email addresses you often use.
You can save an alias by hitting "a" while you are looking at a message; when
you are sending a message, and you are entering an address in one of the
"To:", "Cc:", or "Bcc:" fields, the "tab" key will pop up a menu of your
aliases. That functionality could be called an address book, perhaps.
I am very fond of an add-on package, the Little Brother's DataBase, available
from <URL:http://www.spinnaker.de/lbdb/>; it hooks in to mutt via the
"external query hook", and into your incoming email stream via procmail, and
it maintains an automatic database containing every email addr from every
message you receive, in a format that can be easily searched from within mutt;
you can type "Q" at the main menu, enter a string that shows up in someone's
mail addr, and get a menu of all entries containing a match for that string.
