I thought that the email "suggestions" (the list that appears when you start typing letters in the "to" field in a new email), was sorted with nicknames first then addresses of people I'd written to in EvX's best guess at the one I'd be most likely to use. So, I gave my friend Margaret the nickname "Margaret." That does work to put her ahead of other Margaret's (and indeed Margo's) in my address book when I type marg. But I have to go to the "g." Typing just an m gets me the Mac-L mailing list, an address that is alphabetically ahead of Margaret, but doesn't have a nickname. Going to "mar" gets me my husband, to whom I'm sure I send more emails than most people, but whose nickname is his first name, not his last. Do I need to do something else to get the list to sort in the way I want it, or is this how it's supposed to work, and if so, why?
Just to see what would happen, I tried changing Margaret's nickname to "M". Typing "M" in the "to" field still got me Macintosh... -- Jan Martel in Davis, CA Ibook; System 10.1.2, 9.2.2 -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
