Bad.
Your point is well taken, about not having the address added multiple times. But what about if you've manually typed an address-- why not have it added? I don't like that having typed an address once, I will go on having to type it every time I want it, until I manually add that address into the address book. If you've manually typed an address, isn't that a pretty good indication that you have interest in that address? I think it is as good or may perhaps be even better indicator of user interest, than having clicked on "reply". _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
