Have a look at the query feature of mutt (chapter "4.5. External
Address Queries" in the mutt manual). You should try something like
set query_command="abook --mutt-query '%s'"
Then you can use Ctrl-q (like TAB) to expand a query string to the
addressbook entry.
Alternatively you can use abook as a backend of lbdb (see lbdb
documentation for more information about this).

Don't know, whether this is possible (never used abook myself), but it
shouldn't be hard to write a little script which appends the address
to ~/.abook.addressbook. Maybe this could be based on mail2muttalias
(http://webrum.uni-mannheim.de/jura/moritz/mail2muttalias.shtml).
Tschoeeee
