mutt header caching

I was wondering why when I built mutt 1.5.13 I only noticed a slight performance boost over 1.4.x when headers were being loaded. I finally realized I never configured header caching!! Here are my newly revised compile time options:

./configure --enable-pop --enable-imap --with-gss --with-ssl --with-sasl --enable-hcache

From there it's just a matter of adding 'set header_cache=/path/to/cache' to your muttrc. Go ahead, try it out for yourself!

Getting mutt to autocomplete multiple email addresses

I have a query command specified in my muttrc. Basically it's perl script that searches the corporate ldap server. It works just fine whenever I type 'Q' from the pager and I can even type 'A' to append to the query. My problem is that I couldn't figure out how to select multiple entries. I googled for a while and the best thing out found was typing '^T' while entering text in the To: field. That allowed me to use my query command for sending emails to multiple people. My guess is that it will also work for any other fields as well.
