Package: kmail
Version: 1.1.41 (KDE Almost 2.0 Alpha)
Severity: wishlist

1. I would like to see the address book have more fields, i.e. real name, street \
address, etc. Or better yet, integrate one of the KDE pims as a KPart.

2. I would like auto-completion on the "to:" line.

For example, in Outlook, I can send a message to someone by typing just a few \
characters and then hitting tab.

So for example, if I want to send a message to "Don Sanders" and "David Faure", I can \
type:

    "do sa; fau"

    -- and this will work, presuming that "Don Sanders" is the only person in my \
address book whose name begins with "do sa", and "David Faure" is the only person \
who's last name begins with "fau".

Note that the completion takes place in the background, starting immediately after I \
hit tab. A few seconds later, the resolved names are printed in the to: line.

If the name I type has an @ sign in it, then it will not attempt to match the address \
book.

Also, if a match fails, then it will draw a red squiggle under the name. If there are \
multiple matches, then it will draw a green squiggle, and you can click on the name \
to get a popup list of possible matches. (It also shows the same list if you attempt \
to send without clicking on it.)

I find this feature extremely convenient, as it means I can use the address book \
feature without having to touch the mouse.
