This shouldn't be the case. I don't see that here. Essentially, if I hit my down arrow and then tab to OK, all the addresses my arrow passed over get inserted into the to: field. talk about strange.

That box, assuming it's the other one I eventually tab to never gets filled in. From what you're describing though, the address picker isn't working the way it's supposed to.

AM> Have you thought of joining to give your input? I'd love to join, but have no idea how. I've also heard mention of a wish list, but don't know how to contribute to that either. I purchased the bat on Monday and received my registration info today. I'm not sure if, with this info, I am now able to contribute to the wish list? AM> You could try the address auto-complete.

That seems to work, however, when I hit , 'comma' and then begin typing the next address, the first reverts back to the portion I had typed. I'm probably doing this wrong, so will go back and check.

After writing this mail, I'll go back and try it again. AM> I do this for two to three addresses. I don't do it with more since this AM> method is problematic when adding addresses to the point where the AM> addresses go beyond the limit of the To: field. The line will not scroll AM> to the left automatically so you can't tell what's happening. I wonder if that's being addressed in the beta? I could definitely see where that would be problematic. AM> I hope this helps. It sure does, I'll play around with it a bit.
