Steps to reproduce:

Trying to write an email to someone not in my address book from which I recently received an e-mail. 


Actual results:

Auto-complete does not help me out, I need to fully type out the address.


Expected results:

Auto-complete finds the e-mail address in the received mails and helps me out. There also doesn't appear to be a setting to turn something like this on.

To see how this works, check out google web mail interface for reference. Way better auto-completion than thunderbird mainly because it just gets the possible mails from _everywhere_, not just some address book where I need to remember to add people in.
*from whom, the person (not the address book had sent me an e-mail). Sorry for the mistake :-)
this would be solved by bug 607320
