the osx mail reader doesn't do autocompletion. instead, you need to
keep a separate addressbook application open, from which to pick the
addresses you want. not any addressbook app, mind you, osx' default
addressbook.


Hmmm that's not true at all from my 4 years of using it almost exclusively :)  It always autocompletes for me it uses not just entries from the address book but emails I've sent to before.  My boss has about 10 email addresses for instance... only one is the address book, however when I type his first name I get a big list of all the people with the same first name whom I've emailed.
 

it also hides the real email address you're sending to unless you
configure it out of preferences, showing you only the 'name'.

Sure, but it also gives you a drop down list to choose from as you type.
