If abbreviations in address fields don't play nicely with BBDB expansion, does anyone know whether it is possible to have "generic" addresses in BBDB? What I means is that if a string, say "alice" doesn't match a known address, then on pressing the tab-key it could be optionally expanded to "[email protected]". Does BBDB support anything like that?
