[PLUG] Using distribution lists in abook with mutt


So I use mutt over ssh from work. And in abook I have a little distribution
list entered. entry is "daGuys", with 3 email addresses, one for each
"DaGuy". :-)

In mutt, when I am addressing an email, I have it set so a <CTRL T> brings
up the abook query. Problem is ... I see 3 separate lines, all labeled
"DaGuys", one with each address. I can't seem to figure out how to get all 3
addresses into the "TO:" header, just by choosing the one name (which is
what I want to happen).

Anybody know if this is possible? If not with abook, is there something else
that will allow an easy entry like that? A mutt alias doesn't work, because
it doesn't seem to replace the alias on an outgoing email. And so my MTA
doesn't know what to do with a mutt alias, when it's expecting a number of
email addresses.
