Bart,

Thanks for the code. 

I'm OK with just completing aliases and appreciate your pragmatic
approach.

However, probably due to my inexperience, I was unable to get your code
to work after 

1.) deleting the hard coded email addresses, leaving

        zstyle -e ':completion::complete:mutt:*:' users \
        'reply=($(perl -ne '\''print "$1\n"
                  if /^\s+alias\s+(\S+)\s+.*/;'\'' ~/.muttrc 2>/dev/null))'

2.) putting it in .zshrc and restarting zsh, and failing that,

3.) entering it at zsh's prompt.

When I press <tab> after typing the start of an alias, ie:

        $ mutt -s "A silly subject" Joe_Do<tab>

zsh returns the same error message as before:

        No matches for: `recipient', `login name', `user', or `corrections'

Since I'm so new to zsh, perhaps you can easily suggest what I might try
doing differently.

Thanks,
Kingsley
