Sorry if I'm too thick here but what is this? Where can I activate it?
You are not referring to "clicking the Listview headline", are you?

Hmm. I cannot confirm this generally but it works now with this
thread. I will keep an eye on it.

Even greater!

Then it does it but not in 100% order. Say I have an address book
entry First: Joe, Last: Smith, Displayed: Joe Smith, Nick: blank.
Or: First: Joe, Last: blank, Displayed: Smith, Nick: blank.
I open the New mail and type: Smith - and hit TAB. Nothing happens.
Typing Joe leads to the same result.
BTW, this is even more the case when using more than one To:
addressees.
After the first it simply stops to complete (if it does in the first
place).
As for the capital letters, I might be wrong bcs I might have confused
the not-at-all completion with what I thought was non-completion based
on case sensitive spelling. Sorry.

The nick yes. The CTRL-PLUS cut I didn't know. It seems to do the
trick when typing the displayed name, thank you.

Right.

Hai! Sou desu yo! :-D I'm sorry for repeating what others have already
said. I also checked the FAQ section and previous posts but it was
hard to make real use of them since one has to gather the needed info
bit by bit from a large amount of posts. Finally I think requests such
as mine are just what this ml is for.
