Auto complete Mutt aliases according to the file ~/.mutt/aliases. This is especially useful for users who are editing Mutt mails via vim.

Put file mutt-aliases.vim into some place you're most comfortable with. Add the below line into your ~/.vimrc file:

source <the-path-to-your-stored-mutt-aliases-vim-file>

It should work out of box, though there's a simple assumption that your Mutt configuration is located at ~/.muttrc.

If you're editting file in Mutt:

From: Lu Guanqun <guanqun.lu@gmail.com>
To: foo
Cc:

And your cursor is just after foo, hit Ctrl+X Ctrl+U to get the full name.

From: Lu Guanqun <guanqun.lu@gmail.com>
To: My Foo <foo@bar.com>

Of course, I assume you have a record in your alias file:

alias foo My Foo <foo@bar.com>
