This could be possible :)

But I have another problem with recent versions of balsa: completion of  
adresses in the mail-window.
If you save 2 or more mail-addis for one person and type only the first  
letters with a <tab> then not only one but all addis are saved.

I have selected "alternativ addresses for the same person" in File-
> Addressbook as well as in the adress-selection dialog.

e.G. you get

Philipp Gaffert: philipp.gaffertXweb de, lulluhXgmx net,  
philippgaffertXhotmail com, philipp.gaffertXrtlworld de, PhGaffertXaol  
com;

instead of Philipp Gaffert <philipp.gaffertXweb de>
