Mutt will auto-complete aliases typed on the input line for addresses
(using the GNU readline library, I believe, which is why it's similar to
bash and emacs).

Type part of the alias, or none at all, then press <Tab>. Mutt will
auto-complete the alias up to the first non-unique character (which, if
you type no characters, will likely be none at all). Then, pressing
<Tab> again will give a menu of aliases that match the partial
completion.

This list can be used like most other Mutt menus (the file browser; the
folder index; etc.). Select a single address and press <Enter>, or tag
multiple addresses with <Space> and then press <Enter> to use them all.

FWIW:

Hi Bill. Make two files, one with the body of the mail you want to send in
it, and one with a comma-seperated list of the addresses you want to Bcc
to.

cat file | mutt whatever@email.address -s "subject" -b `cat bcclist`

bcclist should have no blank lines and no newlines, just one long
comma-seperated list of addresses.

The first address could be anything, including your own.

That do the trick?

Why no blank lines and no newlines?
