I had asked about the order of the emails that appear when you start to type in the "to" field. I wanted to get the first nickname starting with my typed letters, instead of getting other addresses until the nickname letters were unique. I said: >> 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?
Paul suggested: > Make it distinctive, unique. Make her nickname "Mrg". Typing "Mr" will > probably do the trick, unless you already have contacts called "Mr. Softee", > etc. where "Mr" is not the title but part of the name. In that case, give > her "Mg" nickname: I'm sure that will do it. And of course that will work, but only as long as I make my fingers remember that Margaret is mrg, not marg. I might manage to do that if I wrote her a whole lot, but I don't, just often enough to find it frustrating that her email doesn't appear when I type "mar." For a *very* frequent correspondent, I can see where you could make up a distinctive nickname. But it still seems to me that it would make more sense for nicknames to sort first, even if I haven't yet typed enough letters to make the nickname have a distinctive start. Is there any way to achieve this? Am I the only one who'd like it to work that way? -- 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/>
