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?

Solution

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.

Whoa, how could I have missed this? It seems it is also possible to use aliases already defined?

Sure, you can use already defined aliases as targets of another alias.
