Currently, the typeahead feature in the To, Cc, and Bcc fields
works based on the actual email address. In other words,
typing "bc" will expand out to bclark@tascam.com for me.
That's great. However, I would also like it to expand based on
the Name field stored in that person's People file. In other
words, typing "Pau" would expand to Paul Ashford, who's email
is arougthopher@lizardland.net. I think many users would
benefit from this, since the whole point of storing an address
book by name is that you don't have to remember people's email
addresses.

    Dane would also like auto-complete for people's first and last
    names.

    Dane mentioned it again. Windows users are used to the first name
    auto-complete.

    As a simple half way improvement, it now (2.1.0rc3) recognizes names
    from the People file's META:name attribute, if you type a double
    quote before typing the first few letters of the person's name.
