Yes, this is why I have autocollect turned off.
But on a business account, I would want it turned on.

I think it would be very helpful to be able to expand on nickname only
unless there was no nickname match.  I.e.,
i. check nicknames
   a. if such nickname exists, expand on that only
   b. if no such nickname, expand on other fields
Until we have this, it would be very helpful if nickname matches
were listed first.  (Obviously, I rely heavily on nicknames, as will
all former pine users I suspect.)

This would be great, and I agree that the message view would be
preferable.

One other idea: right now if I try to extract addresses to the address
book, all are automaticall selected.  An UnselectAll option would be
very useful when there is a long list of which I want one, which happens
to me pretty often.
