 Mahogany doesn't do this but it sounds like a good idea. Of course, you
can do "ben<Enter>bob<Enter>..." and it would expand each address in turn.

 To be honest, this looks like a bug rather than a feature. At least I was
so surprized to read this that I even checked it myself -- and you're
correct of course :-/

 It looks for name, last name and email but by default it matches the
string "foo" as "foo*", i.e. it will only find addresses starting with
"foo", not containing "foo". If you want the latter, just type (literally)
"*foo" before pressing Enter.

 As I said, I like the idea. Please open a bug at our bug tracker and I'll
try to implement it one of these days.

 Thanks,
