I'll second that! But in my taste, I would rather have one mail in
the Sent folder...
B is the sticking point. Mutt doesn't do this AFAIK, nor do most mail
programs. It's an inefficient way to send mail, and will make your
mail server a lot busier than it needs to be.
For large "busines grade" mass mailing, that's true, but not for
smaller private use of a list. It would be handy to have a way to
address a group of recipients without the need to manually enter
them individually. The manual version is quite error prone as well
(easy to miss a recipient)...
