The Address Book The Address Book stores commonly used addresses for you to refer to or use in your composed messages. In addition, you can search on any of the address fields. An address book entry consists of: Name This is an alias or nickname you will use to refer to this address. Address An e-mail address or multiple addresses (separated by commas) which will be used in a message. Groups Names of address groups this address is associated with. When composing messages, entries may be completed/inserted individually by matching their name, or entire groups of people may be inserted by matching a group name. Multiple groups are separated by a space and/or comma. Comment Anything else you want to remember about this address. This information is not used by the program. There are two list windows shown. The one on the left contains your entire address book. The one on the right is filled in as the result of searches. It will only contain matching entries from the last search operation. If you select a list item (either list), you will be able to modify it or remove it from your address book. You can only Add an entry starting from a fresh empty window (nothing currently selected). The Reset button may be used to clear the current selection and reset the window state. To search for an item, enter what you are searching for in the appropriate text field, and select the Search button. Any matching text from ANY address book entity will be returned in the search result list. Matches are not case sensitive, so "me" will match any of "ME", "Me", "me". They are also not position sensitive, so a search for "ich" will find "Richard" and "Jericho". Any of the four text input fields may be used for the search. Any field which produces a match will be displayed. To use an address entry in a compose window address field, type enough of the Name part of the entry to make it unique, and hit the [tab] key. The Address part of the entry will be filled in for you. As you become more familiar with this use, you will find that short, unique names containing no spaces work best for this completion. To use a group name in a compose window address field, type a complete group name, and hit the [tab] key. The Address part of the entry for each Address Book entry containing that group name will be filled in for you. Group entries take precedence in completion, but must be matched completely. If no group entries are found, an attempt is then made to match the (partial or complete) Name. You may also "drag" a name from either of the lists into a compose address field, and hit the [tab] key while the cursor is positioned somewhere within the name which was dragged. Generally the middle mouse button performs a list "drag" operation.
