The desktop application Outlook does a far less aggressive auto-complete. It doesn't fill anything into the input area, and the user needs to explicitly click or otherwise select the suggestion. There are no suggestions based on surname or any other parts of the AB card, it's only matched by e-mail address (which is not helpful, but that's OL for you). So Magnus, who can we resolve this issue? Thomas and I think that the proposed patch is right, we believe that Alex will share that opinion, but we'll have to see when he returns from PTO. IMHO, auto-competing `Smith,` with anything with `Smith` in the address books is a **HUGE** fault of the product which will cause quite a storm when it hits the masses, especially since auto-complete used to stop when a comma was entered.
