Title:  How do I use WebPine to look up someone's email address?

Question:
How do I use WebPine to look up someone's email address?

Answer:
When you use WebPine to compose, reply, or forward a message you are
presented with a screen that looks somewhat like this:

   To   : [                             ]  [XX] [Expand]
   Cc   : [                             ]  [XX] [Expand]

(the [XX] icon above looks like an open book and takes you to your
addressbook).  If you type in a name in either the "To:" or "Cc:" fields
and click the [Expand] button, WebPine will:

(1) Search your addressbook to find a nickname that matches
    the name you typed.  If it finds it, it fills the "To:" or "Cc:"
    line with the address that matches (or all the addresses in a list
    if the name matches a list)

(2) If it doesn't find a match there it searches the Student/Staff
    directory.  If it finds a unique match it fills in the email
    address, otherwise it presents you with a list of the form:

             Below are directory entries ...
        Directory Search results for "XXX"
        [ ] xxx
        [ ] xxx
        [ ] xxx

    If you click the checkbox for the address you want and click [Address]
    in the upper left corner, WebPine fills in the correct email address

(3) If it does not find a match it normally displays an error message at
    the top that says the address is not in your addressbook


You should always click [Expand] to make sure your addresses are what you
expect since WebPine does not do this for you automatically (unless you
use the [Configure] options to override its normal behavior).
