Thanks for the ideas. How would you recommend querying that data 
from Mutt? I don't know much about the facilities for accessing 
addresses from within Mutt, but I know it can access LDAP and 
alias files. I'd also prefer to avoid hacking out a custom 
solution if there is a canned one that works.
