Get arbitrary other data from the address book.
Some data I would like to store in an address book (I'm using send-hooks
for some of that now):
PGP key(s) of an address (mutt's search heuristics doesn't always find
the right key)
Whether to use PGP encryption and/or signature for a recipient.
Sender address to use for this recipient (I use different addresses for
mailing lists)
