It does in my copy, which is a 1.5.6 release. Are you certain all your
subdirectories updated from CVS?

| 3.9.  Alternative addresses
|
| Usage: [un]alternates regexp [ regexp ... ]
|
| With various functions, mutt will treat messages differently,
| depending on whether you sent them or whether you received them from
| someone else.  For instance, when replying to a message that you sent
| to a different party, mutt will automatically suggest to send the
| response to the original message's recipients -- responding to
| yourself won't make much sense in many cases.  (See ``$reply_to''.)
|
| Many users receive e-mail under a number of different addresses. To
| fully use mutt's features here, the program must be able to recognize
| what e-mail addresses you receive mail under. That's the purpose of
| the alternates command: It takes a list of regular expressions, each
| of which can identify an address under which you receive e-mail.
|
| To remove a regular expression from this list, use the unalternates
| command.
