Furthermore there are some other oddities with the TO-field and the
nicks.
In most cases I use a person's first name as nick. When entering the
nick in the field after a second or so, the bat completes the name
with an entry from the history. You can avoid this by leaving the
field before that mentionend second.
Often this doesn't matter as the completed name is the one you want.
But in that case it doesn't change the capitalization. Since I usually
enter the nicks in small letters only, a completed address then has the
first name starting with a small letter and the middle/last names are with
capital letters as entered in the addressbook.
Another thing is that you have to seperate several nicks/addresses by
";". Otherwise the nicks won't expand. When just entering comlete
addresses a "," works fine, too.
so long

Ford stood up. "We're safe," he said. "Oh good," said Arthur. "We're in
a small galley cabin," said Ford, "in one of the spaceships of the Vogon
Constructor Fleet." "Ah," said Arthur, "this is obviously some strange
usage of the word safe that I wasn't previously aware of."
