Using 1999092112 on win98 (still checking linux and mac) auto complete on Address Book is not working as it did in earlier builds. Auto complete use to work when typing in a partial name then pressing <Enter>. Now <Enter> completes the name by adding the domain name even though there is a partial match in my Address book to a domain other than @netscape.com. I have caraway@lodelink.com in my address book. When I type in cara<Enter> I get cara@netscape.com instead of caraway@lodelink.com. I have the preference set to match against Address Books only. 1. Launch Messenger 2. Click New Msg 3. Type in part of an email address that is in your personal address book and does not have @netscape.com as the domain, then press <Enter> Result: @netscape.com gets appended to what you have typed Expected: the first match against the character you typed with a name in your personal address book to name complete on the To: line.

I found the problem. It has been introduced when adding the history AB to the search path. In fact AC was working only agains the history AB. We forget to populate the card of the personal AB.

attached diff of the fix. Scott, could you review my fix please?
Ahh that's why name completion was only working on the history address book and not the personal ab =). Consider the fix reviewed.
Move milestone stoppers to M10

Using 19991003 on win98 and 19991001 on mac and linux this is working now. Note: Autocomplete works as before with the exception that it matches against the collected abook first (see bug 15192) instead of Personal Abook. It will match against the Personal abook now only if there is no match in the Collected Abook since we only make one match at this time it won't look at the Personal in this case. Other bugs cover the exceptions. Verififed
