I agree.  The only address I seem to notice this with is mine.  When I want to 
forward an email to myself at my client's site, I have to type a "D" (for 
derek) even though the address is broughtond@...  It's unintuitive, since all 
of my personal addresses begin with "d" but the client addresses begin with 
my surname.
