Hi there :)

while filling in a recipient using <tab> for mail address completion seems only work for the fields email and display name. Would be nice to consider first and last name also.

ciao Knut

Actually only the Surname field is missing.
The following patch fixes it.
For the other things it also does:

- if available, show first the Surname field in completion
The next patch also does that:
- autofill Surname and Name field according to Display Name

eg. Display Name: Foo Bar
    Name: Foo
    Surname: Bar

Many thanks Salvatore! 

Any idea why Salvatores patches are not yet in the main repo? I applied those locally and it works fine. 

Just in case anybody is working with git / github: I pushed these two patches to my github fork of claws-mail: 
https://github.com/mpollmeier/claws-mail

That's odd; I'm using Fedora14, and claws-mail-3.7.9-5.fc14.x86_64.rpm , and the firstname is not being considered.

Can we please include this patch upstream?
