Autofill CC field
 
#1
0  
In my current email program I am used to typing in the start of the address and then pressing enter to select it and I can start typing the next address and again press enter to select, and so on till I press tab for the next field.

This does not work the same in TB. Having pressed enter for the first address it still remains highlighted so entering for second address just deletes the original. What am I missing, how do you add the second and following address?

I also find the autofill selection is very slow to search.

Press 'End' type a comma and start with the next address, can't help you with the speed. IIRC it takes two seconds for the auto-fill to kick in.

I use the Nickname/Handle in the addressbook and create each one as the first three letters of the first name followed by the first three letters of the surname so I don't have to remember them (works ok normally until you have a contact with multiple email addresses and you need to use a specific one - I add "1" for work, "2" for home etc but it's not so foolproof).  Then in the To, CC and BCC fields i just type in the nicknames separated by commas, tab out of the field, and all the addresses are there.

Thanks for that. It does though seem a cumbersome way of going about. Other programs you just need to press enter and the comma is added automatically and you are ready for then next entry. Will this be improved in the next version?

I am having great difficulty in finding enough to like about The Bat to commit to it.

Thanks - a novel way around it.
