Using Automatic Name Completion

(Sponsored and Paid modes only)

Similar to the “Finish Address Book Entry” command (see “Finish Address Book Entry Command” on page 164; click the page number to display the topic), Auto-Completion allows you to enter a portion of a name in the To:, Cc:, or Bcc: field, and Eudora automat- ically completes the name for you. Just start typing and Eudora will attempt to complete the name. If multiple past recipients match the text you’ve entered, a list of names from your history file and address book appear in a drop-down name list (provided both the history file and address book are selected in the new Auto-Completion option window explained later in this section). Select the correct name, and the name and email address appear in the field.

The history file consists of names and email addresses of people you have previously sent or forwarded messages to, or to whose messages you have replied within Eudora.

The address book consists of the nicknames you have entered for each person in your address book.

In the example below, you want to send Barb a message. Previously, you had to enter her nickname from your address book, or if she wasn’t in your address book, you had to enter her full email address. To use the auto-completion feature, just enter B in the To: field, and Eudora displays a drop-down name list of names beginning with “B” for you to choose from. (You can also press Esc to prevent the drop-down name list from appearing.) If you had typed BA, Eudora would have displayed a drop-down name list with all names begin- ning with “Ba.” Scroll through the name list and click or press Enter to select the correct name. The name is now entered into the header field.

Name auto-completion in a new message

If you have only a “Barb” and a “Beth” as names in your address book or history file, Eudora completes the first alphabetical name. So when you type B, “Barb” would appear first on the list (if Names should appear in alphabetical order is selected in the Auto Completion options window explained later in this section).
