I started having a look at "mutt groups".
[ I never used mutt groups and didn't find an exhaustive documentation
about the exact syntax to use ]


So I tried the patch using such sample:

> alias X	  x...@gm...
> alias Y	  ygmail.com
> alias Z	  z...@gm...

> group -group foo -addr X, y...@gm...
> group -group bar -addr z...@gm...

In interactive mode I manually added a group and
indeed --convert --outformat=mutt takes groups into account.
Anyway it does not use the "-addr" syntax [1]

I also tried it in combination of --mutt-query --outformat=custom
(I intend to push it soon after) and that worked pretty well too.


But I got more mixed results on the input filter side (unrelated to the
use of -addr):

Were you able to grab the "group" fields using the "abook" export ? eg:
$ ./abook --convert --informat=mutt --outformat=abook < ~/mutt.alias

What mutt command-line do you use to benefit from the feature ?

It may worth to add the "groups" field to the "allcvs" export filter
to ease such testing and results validation.



thanks!
