I can imagine a scenario in which this new limitation would be really unfortunate, but let me ask for clarification:
Is the limit of 8 only for items from the address book, and not also for the recently-used address list? Here's why I ask. Sometimes I want to send an email to somebody with whom I've been corresponding recently (say, a week ago), but I can only remember the first letter of their name or email address. Yes, this happens to me! It's very helpful to hit the one letter and look down the list. I guess the old limit was about 20 items? Why would this be changed? It's a shame. Here's what I would suggest if it's felt that the list needs to be shorter. Take a design cue from Spotlight and make the last item in the list a "show all" item that expands the list to full size. --Mike > On 19/10/2005 13:03, "Allen Hancock" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>>>> For my clients who are just using Entourage HATE the limit on 8 >>>>> results when addressing emails. >>>> >>>> What do you mean by 8 result when addressing emails? >>> >>> The autocomplete is now limited to 8 hits from each address book. >>> >>> All they need to do is type another letter... >> >> right, but which letter? > > I am surprised by your question.
