Description

Names typed into the addressing pane of the mail compose window are compared with names in local address books. There are possible results from autocomplete: there is a unique match, there are multiple matches, or there is no match. In any of these cases, the appropriate completion string appears to the right of the insertion point.

The testspec provides guidelines to test automatic name completion in the Addressing Pane of the Mail Compose window.

In order to do this testing, you must bring up the Composer and Address Book windows.
