[sylpheed:32048] Re: Feature request: address field autocomplete

[Vladi Belperchinov-Shabanski]

this can be external tool or additional tool to the address book.
harvest addresses (from a folder) and put them into separate address book.
then you can check, delete, whatever you want with this book. 
this way nothing changes inside sylpheed autocomplete function.

my 2c.
