auto insert of e-mail address in the 'TO' row.

When i type the contact name in the 'TO' row some of the e-mail addresses
are automatically inserted and some will not appear.
I have even deleted them and re entered them into my contacts as new and
they still dont appear yet other ones do?????.


A kind word will do ........ Bill

Re: auto insert of e-mail address in the 'TO' row.

The auto-complete in Windows Mail just doesn't work correctly.
It keeps a separate list of the last 29 addresses you've sent to, including
bad ones.
This list is kept in the registry (in binary).
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Recently Used Addresses

This is one of the features that works properly in the newer Windows Live
Mail.

Re: auto insert of e-mail address in the 'TO' row.

the auto complete is problematic.
you need to type the first 3 characters to start with.
then it only remembers the last 29 or so entries.
and then only after you have used it several times.

have heard that Windows Live Mail handles it better.
