For this you need the "alias" function, which acts as an
'address-book'.
To use this you need to configure mutt to 'see' aliases:
set alias_file=/path/to/alias/file
then
source /path/to/alias/file
aliases can be saved in different formats, the default is:
alias nickname "fullname" <address>
the address field can be multiple, so you can create a group in this
way, or, better if you sometimes have to send individual emails, you
can map aliases recursively, in both cases, the address is then a
comma-separated list.
alias person1 <address1>
alias person2 <address2>
alias person3 <address3>
and then:
alias group person1, person2, person3
This should do what you want.
