I find autocomplete, in any program, to be less than optimal, so to
me it's easier to hit the "TO:" and scroll down. 

I thought the search function available in compose mode only searched
the body of the message? Are you saying it can be set to search the
Address Book?

version of Evo.

I am really finding all of this very puzzling, which is highly
uncomfortable; I'm not generally this puzzled over something which
should be fairly simple :-)
