If abbreviations in address fields don't play nicely with BBDB
expansion, does anyone know whether it is possible to have "generic"
addresses in BBDB? What I means is that if a string, say "alice"
doesn't match a known address, then on pressing the tab-key it could be
optionally expanded to "alice@default.email.org". Does BBDB support
anything like that?
Cheers,
Loris
