Ah, but this is my biggest complaint against Evolution.  I want to reply 
to a message and the person is in the CC instead of the To:  Now I have 
to copy and paste and delete and do the same for the person that ends up 
in the To instead of the CC line and ...  It just goes on.

I also like the complete email address as I have multiple addresses for 
some people that I use at different times.  I don't want to see just 
their names with the auto complete.

I for one prefer the Thunderbird way of doing the addresses.  It allows 
me to filter and weed things much quicker than trying to read all the 
addresses on one line that sometimes can include more addresses than 
will show up in one line.

The one real benefit is if I am composing to multiple people, I don't 
have to think of who will be To:, CC: or Bcc: when I type in the 
addresses.  With Evolution I have to do all this at the beginning and in 
some cases I either miss place someone or I forget them.  It takes so 
much time.  In fact I could deal with all my mail in a few hours in 
Thunderbird but I have an issue getting through my mail in a day with 
Evolution.  Much of it is due to Evolution Connector though.
