Hallo rich,

No, TB starts 'guessing' when I leave the header field. And 'guessing'
is the wrong word. The target of the exercise was to use handles,
since handles are unique TB hasn't any need to 'guess', it knows.

It looks like you were messing with TB's autocomplete function, when
you type it completes what you might be typing, but what TB
autocompletes is selected. When you're continuing to type matching
characters each one is unselected, as soon as you use another
character TB tries to match with a new address, so when it has got the
right address, you press End Comma Space and continue with the new
address.

Not really

RG> which destroys the auto-entered correct address.

And that's a most natural thing, first you unselect the autocomplete
text.

RG> If you had to make ANY keystrokes at all, why NOT allow the comma?

Because the comma is text. When you've got a contact with the
displayed name as "Doe, John" and you start typing 'doe, ' TB will at
some time autocomplete that with '"Doe, John" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'
So the comma is disallowed, because it might be part of the name.
