Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.1) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Assume there is a person with a degree in your address book, let's say "Dr. Joe Foe". Now, if you create a new message and enter "Joe" in the "To" field, the auto address completition will not suggest "Joe Foe" or "Dr. Joe Foe". Only entering "Dr." will provide you with a list include Dr. Foe. I believe this behaviour should be changed so that I could either enter "Dr." or "Joe" in order to get his name suggested by KMail's auto completition. I have a number of degree-holders in my address book and I don't necessarily think of their degree in the first place when writing messages to them.
This works for me in 3.4 please feel free to reopen if you still see the problem in 3.4 or later
I have just installed a current Kubuntu, including kmail 1.9.1 on KDE 3.5.2. On that system, degrees are irrelevent for the auto-completition. So, the actual bug has been fixed. However, you now need to enter the name without any degrees. For some situations (e.g. when addressing some professors), I wish that I could type a degree, then seeing a list of all people in my address book with that degree. So, when you create a new message and you start off with "Dr.", a list of those persons having that degree should appear. I'd say this would be the most user-friendly solution here.
Changed title accordingly
Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented. Thank you for your understanding.
Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
