This is an answer related to real life: My brain simply can't always recall all people in my adressbook who might be interested in (or who are even in need of) a particular mail I'm currently composing. The auto-completion procedure presumes that you already KNOW from the top of your head who you want to add to the recipient list. In real life, this is not (always) the case. So I'm walking through the addressbook and can pick this and that recipient, because simply SEEING a recipient might remind me that it is one of the ones that needs to be added.

But then the majority should make sure to implement it in both/all skins. But see also next post (which I still need to compose, so it may take a while from now on). -- Michael Heydekamp Co-Admin freexp.de Düsseldorf/Germany _______________________________________________ Roundcube Development discussion mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roundcube.net/mailman/listinfo/dev
