[Wftl-lug] As-U-Type

[elliott-brennan]

Hi Craig,

I guess sometimes I'm not as 'perceptive' of what 
appears to be a problem to others..

For instance, if there was something that T'bird 
didn't do when I typed in it's text window that I 
really wanted it to do, I'd open OO and type in 
there and then cut-and-paste :)

I agree that for some people autocomplete in their 
e-mail is probably something they'd like. I type 
so fast that, generally, autocomplete or 
autocorrection merely annoys me :) I do spell 
checking though.

Regards,

Patrick
