You don't need to write a script for that. Mutt will display the "real name" automatically for addresses in your alias list. Define aliases in your .muttrc as follows: alias Foo Foo Bar <foo...@bars.name> and now incoming mails from foo...@bars.name will have "Foo Bar" in the origin field. If you insist on using an address list in some other format such as Thunderbird's, consider automatically converting the other format into mutt's. -- Please *no* private copies of mailing list or newsgroup messages.
