This isn't a good solution because it duplicates all entries in the 
completion list. Moreover, if I enter "jb" then "John Brown 
<jbrown@something>" won't be shown as possible completion.

Instead of adding duplicates to the completion list the code which looks 
for valid completions should be changed to not only find addresses that 
start with the already entered characters, but to find addresses which 
contain a word which starts with the characters. Then we would complete 
by first name, by last name, by email address and by the domain part of 
email addresses.

Ingo
