Hi MartianRover,
On 28 October 2000 at 23:35:35 GMT -0700 (which was 06:35 where I
live) MartianRover KF6KNC wrote and made these points:

There are three ways in which TB will expand addresses typed into the
address fields.
1) Type a partial address and wait.
This doesn't appear to always work. This is because the source of
addresses for this "auto-complete" method is the address history
list (the list that drops down when you press the down arrow next
to the "To" header field). Of course, since that is the source, it
will only draw on matches that exist within that list. That makes
it a match on the most recently used 20 addresses only.
2) Type a partial nickname and tab out of the field
This will draw a match on the first matching nickname in the
address book. This method only matches when you leave the header
field.
3) Type a partial name and use Ctrl-Plus to select consecutive
matching entries from the Address book.
This is the method I always use. It is, on the whole, safer. I find
that method 1 and 2 can pull an unexpected address that looks
almost right enough to fool a "user in a hurry" <g>.
Januk has answered your other questions admirably :-).
