Comments on: The high cost of e-mail autocomplete

Beware the feature that tries to figure out who you are sending by the first few letters. It's not always right, as Eli Lilly found out the hard way.

Any technology has it's limits...

Just as you shouldn't allow a spell-checker to replace proofreading your writing yourself (see my subject line!), you shouldn't send an email without checking with your own eyes that it's addressed to the proper recipients. That doesn't mean spell-check or address completion are completely useless.

Take a tip from AOL Mail....

Create an unsend feature and make it so that it works with all e-mail.
