"Inside" knowledge: belonging to this mailing list sometimes gets you
replies direct from the developers. One of them explained this feature a
long time ago (just after Entourage came out). It should certainly be in any
book written about Entourage (I think there are two other books, but I
haven't read them either.) Arguably, it could also be in the Help, but the
Help was written many, many months before Office 2001 came out so that it
could be translated into all the many regional languages in which Office is
published in good time. Since Entourage was a 1.0 release with lots of
details being adjusted during the beta process, many things had not been set
in stone by the time that the Help had to be sent to the translators. I'm
not sure that the exact figure really needs to be in the Help, but I can see
where you might need some reassurance that the autofill list is not
infinite. Are you sure that there's no reference to 'recent correspondents',
or something of that sort?
