Hi Marcelo,

I wasn't clear on whether you are trying to limit to emails with ALL of
these addresses present, or ANY, or something else. Here are some
examples:

~c kira ~c marcelo

will match only emails BOTH of us are CC'd on, while

~c (kira\|marcelo)

will match on EITHER of us being CC'd. (The | needs to be escaped here
because it's a regex *within* a limit pattern.)

If you wanted, say, messages where 'kira' is CC'd OR 'marcelo' is TO'd,
you could use

(~t marcelo | ~c kira)

For your reference, I picked up some of these by looking over section
4.2 of the mutt manual.

Hope this helps,

~ Kira
