Nope, if correctly coded... I mean that when I write down
michael@ in Netscape, it automatically expands it to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (which is the address that was
*never* used since such user doesn't exist, Mozilla just adds
that mph stuff since the addressbook hasn't michael@anything
AND my own address is configured as
[EMAIL PROTECTED] there) instead of correct
[EMAIL PROTECTED], which *exists* in the RUA list...
That's what I call the nightmare of assumptions.
If OTOH the program just picks *all* the addresses matching
the string I've just typed in from *everywhere* one by one and
lets me to choose between them, it's all pretty logical and useful.
