The completion in BBDB is erratic. In compose message mode, when I
type something at the 'to' field and press tab I get the following behaviour: 

 mark hardman -- tab --> [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- tab --> does nothing
 mark harrison -- tab --> [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- tab --> Mark Harrison <[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]>

what i expect is:

 mark hardman -- tab --> Mark Hardman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- tab --> Mark 
Hardman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
 mark harrison -- tab --> Mark Harrison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- tab --> Mark 
Harrison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Let me know if there is any other information that I can provide, or
if I can explain something better.
