Hence, ecomplete would be best if it was more like "you're mailing someone not in your BBDB... can i auto-create an entry based on past remembered knowledge?" Sort of in-between the bbdb's auto-add-everyone (simply huge BBDB) and "add no one". It'd be like "remind me about people I communicate with". -- "In the bathtub of history the truth is harder to hold than the soap, and much more difficult to find." -- Terry Pratchett
