I'm slightly confused.  You're not using lbdb to query abook?  I don't
think it will matter, but that's what I'm using and how I tested this.

Do ^T and tag daguy-1 through daguy-3.  All three will appear in the
To (or Cc or whatever) field in mutt.

Alternatively, if I have an email address in jpilot (which is what I
use) such as "a@b.c, x@y.z", then selecting that name from the lbdbq
results will give me both email addresses.

HTH.  I am a bit confused about exactly what is happening for you.
