Wouldn't it make more sense to not autosuggest certain names in the first place in that AJAX drop-down? This kinda feels like they're building a feature to defend against another feature. Perhaps these guys need something else to do?
- bmj 17y agoIsn't this typical behavior for an email client? Thunderbird and Outlook do this (auto-suggest). I don't know about other web mail clients, since GMail is the only one I use...
- snprbob86 17y agoIf you normally mail Bob X and Alice, instead of Bob Y and Alice; however, you frequently mail Bob Y. How would it know if you always type Bob's name first?
- JshWright 17y agoFrom the post: "Note that this only works if you're emailing more than two people at once." If you're just e-mailing Bob (X|Y) it won't care (or help) at all.
- snprbob86 17y agoRe-read what I wrote. The grand-parent post suggests improved auto-complete, but that is invalid because there is no additional information when entering the first of many names. Google implemented this feature outside of auto-complete because it only makes logical sense in the context of two or more recipients.
- JshWright 17y agoYep, sorry, I misunderstood the GP, and therefore misunderstood your reply. Thanks for the clarification.
- ugh 17y agoSorry, but huh? There are still people on this planet not using auto-complete when writing E-Mail? Auto-complete is not a feature, it’s a must. No need to defend against. Who the hell writes whole E-Mail adresses?
- frossie 17y agoThere are still people on this planet not using auto-complete when writing E-Mail? Those of us that use mail aliases? Youngsters these days.... Now if only someone would have a solution to me typing in the wrong IM window :-)
