[Evolution] Evolution not quite Eudora yet

[grok <grok sprint ca>]

In the 'Contacts' module, it seems to me that none of the 'Categories'
off the main Contact list are _globally_ available to 'expand' a typed
alias in an outgoing message header field. This seems awfully limiting,
and presently I have to manually click on the To; Cc: Bcc: buttons and
drop menus just in order to get to these email addresses -- and select
them one-by-one at that. Creating lists is just as 'click-consuming'.

Is the answer here just something which I have overlooked, or is it
rather that these are features which have not yet been implemented?

I desperately needed to replace my old Win Eudora with something just
like this new Evolution, and I am pretty happy with it overall (despite
the frequent mail & speller component crashes; but then I am still
running too many unstable packages, so what the hey), and am willing to
wait for features to be implemented; but I am wondering also whether the
programmers are really aiming for implementing Contact features which
really are as incredibly useful as those long-available in Eudora?

Comments? Solutions?
