Of course, I could add more people to the recipients list,
but out of curiosity, does anyone know why I'm seeing such
inconsistent behavior in autocomplete, and if possible, how
to get Eudora to remember ones I use frequently?
Thanks,
Patty
I could be wrong, but I think Eudora autocompletes addresses in your
address book (Eudora one, not Mac one) and also addresses of people who
have written to you. It does not complete addresses of people you have
writen to - I guess it assumes you will have put them in the address
book if you wanted to use them again.

That seems to be the case, yet.

Sorry, I should have made it clearer--by "people I've written to,"
I mean "people with whom I've been conversing." In other words,
people who have written to me as well as vice versa.
I was just trying to send messages to some team members on a pro bono
project last night, and Eudora only remembered one of the people! Just
a few days ago, it happily remembered all of them.

This has been annoying me for years!
I asked here once, but apparently no one seemed to know why. Eventually
I gave up and added a handful of people to my address book. These were
individuals I've had email exchanges with for many years.
What I know is, that Eudora remembers every address in its *history
list*, which displays below the nicknames in the address book.
Somehow though it isn't quite clear to me, what controls how this
history list is updated and what the limits are, if there are any.
Mine currently contains 75 addresses, recently and not so recently used
ones.
Do they just drop out to make space for new entries?
Still that wouldn't explain why it would refuse to include one of my
most frequently used contacts.
