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-Compl etion
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 attemp t 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 (pr ovided both the
history file and address book are selected in the new Auto-Complet ion option window
explained later in this section). Select the correct name, and the name and email addr ess
appear in the field.
The history file consists of names and email addresses of people you have previously se nt
or forwarded messages to, or to whose messages you have replied within Eu dora.
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 he r
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 choos e
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 n ames 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 ap pear
first on the list (if Names should appear in alphabetical order is selected in the Auto
Completion options window explained later in this section).
