Vista - how do you set windows mail to auto-complete from a nickname?

04-09-2008

I used to be able to start typing my sisters name (Mary) and basically after
the letter "M" Outlook Express would auto-complete her entire name so that
the recepient showed as her full name (not her email address). With Windows
Mail, I can't use her name, Windows Mail is not recognizing it I guess. I
have to start typing her email adress, which begins in another letter of the
alphabet (her email address starts with her last name), then Windows Mail
will auto-complete and the message will be addressed to her email address
instead of her name. Can I fix this?

Auto-complete does not work well in Windows Mail.
It works much better in Windows Live Mail, which I recommend
you switch to:
