Re: [Evolution] default mail address

[Paul Hands <phands cadence com>]

Hi,

In the way you mean, my understanding is that, no it doesn't and won't
do it.  There was a discussion on this topic a few months ago, which
pointed out that the standards require fully qualified email addresses
and that this feature is a departure from those standards.  It was
entered as an enhancement request, but I'm not sure what it's status is.

The workaround is to use the contacts list - then when you type in
partial address, you will get a menu of choices which match, or if only
one match exists, it will just use it.

If anyone else out there has a better memory of that discussion, please
correct any errors I've made.

HTH
