Sort of.  That is, the send-hook command doesn't support that 
capability, but you can replace the send-hook commands in your 
muttrc with a source command, like this:

    source "myhookgen|"

where myhookgen is a program (written in any language you like) that 
generates send-hook commands from a list of addresses.  For example:

    #!/usr/bin/sh
    while read address
    do
        echo 'send-hook "~C '$address'" set whatever'
    done <<EOF
    dsdf@xxxxxxxxxx
    another@xxxxxxxxx
    EOF

HTH,
Gary
