Thank you for the offer! Alas, I am not confident that I myself know what exactly I need, and I don't want to burden anyone with potentially idle work.
To illustrate, I just implemented the system I proposed a few mails earlier (groups are textfiles with lists of names, script uses "abook --mutt-query" to get the corresponding email address for each name), just to discover that I cannot use it for (auto-)completion in the MUA I am using presenlty (Balsa), as that won't accept a list of addresses as input, but always expects me to pick one of them.
That's not too bad, though, as I can of course simply copy-paste the output of my script. It is too slow to be used for autocompletion anyway, since given the opportunity, I have written it in Perl6 (yes, six), which I have long wanted to get into. For those of you interested
1) a copy the script is attached to this email. (undocumented)2) Balsa's somewhat strange handling of external address book commands is documented here: http://www.theochem.kth.se/~pawsa/balsa/help/ab-conf.html ("Writing your own load scripts")
I have something I can be content with for now.
