| I am using mutt 1.2.5i with a hodge podge .muttrc. I have pinched the
| following from Roland Rosenfeld's keybindings :
|  
| macro   index   \ea     "!$EDITOR ~/.mutt_alias\n:source ~/.mutt_alias\n" \
|                         "Edit aliases file and reload it"
|  
| but using <esc>a gives the following error

I use the following (ctrl-a)

macro index \Ca "!\${EDITOR} ~/.mutt/aliases\n:source ~/.mutt/aliases\n" \
                "edit addressbook"

I thinkt the problem lies with the "$"; I think it needs to be
escaped.

In your situation, I think mutt tries to execute the .mutt_alias file,
and that is, of cours, not possible.
