Re: [Evolution] default mail address

[John Schmidt <jschmidt amis com>]

Using Evolution 1.0.8 I don't see the auto-complete
working the way Paul H. describes it.  Using the contacts
list and typing a partial address, even if only one match
exists, I still have to mouse-down and select it.

Is there a way to have it use the match if it's the only one?
