Re: [sup-talk] contacts list confusion



Excerpts from plutek's message of Thu Apr 15 12:29:04 -0400 2010:

> i'm curious about how the contacts list actually works... i've read and written a number of emails in sup now, and "C" shows quite a few contacts. when i open contacts.txt for editing, those contacts do not show in that file. however, if i add a few contacts in contacts.txt, they get added to the "C" list in sup -- if they were already there, the nickname i put in contacts.txt shows up, and if they weren't, then they become new additions to the list. contacts which are in the "C" list but which are *not* in contacts.txt do not participate in autocompletion when filling in headers.

oops... i meant this, of course:
listname: person1 <address1>, person2 <address2>, person3 <address3>
