description

This script permit to insert an alias from the mutt aliases file while editing an e-mail within vim. Since the version 2.0, we can hit <tab> (in INSERT-mode) within an address field (To:, Cc:, Bcc:, Reply-To) to expand an alias. If several contacts match the to-be-expanded pattern, a menu is proposed in a splitted window in order to choose the addresses. Dependencies : v2.x+ : a.vim                http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=31           Actually, you should download an old version of a.vim that still exports its functions v2.2+ : words_tools.vim http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=143 N.B.: The command (:Ca) and the macro (,Ca) have been abandonned since version 2.3.

install details

Update the path to your mutt aliases file, and put the file anywhere you want -- N.B.: $$/ftplugin/mail/ is certainly the best place you could find.
