I completely agree, but due to limitations in the auto-completion=20
functionality in the KDE libraries that's not easy to change.

I think this was recently implemented in KMail by simply duplicating the=20
entries in the auto-completion list, i.e. by adding
=46irstname Surname <email@address>
and
Surname, Firstname <email@address>

But for some reason it doesn't work in the development version. Maybe it=20
hasn't been committed yet.

=46or your information, you can simply press Ctrl+T to get all addresses=20
which contain the already entered characters anywhere, e.g. type 'brou'=20
and then press Ctrl+T to get your address.
