Mark, this patch is awesome. Really, it works great and is incredibly useful. With it I am able to trivially find emails that have traditionally been very difficult for me to retrieve because the sender addresses are obscure, e.g. I've only been able to remember a couple starting characters. This is on par with the tag: completion for usefulness. It would be great to extend this to to: completion as well. +2 Thanks so much, Mark. jamie.
