           Summary: When Tab-Completing, give priority to order of email
                    addresses in Address Book

In one of the recent changes, the tab-completion of email addresses was made a
lot more flexible and it works great in most situations.

However it does not give priority to the order of email addresses listed in the
address book. That can be a problem at times.

Consider an entry for John Doe in Address Book with 3 email addresses:

John Doe
johndoe at use-this-for-official-work.com
johndoe at personal-emails-only.com
johndoe at do-not-use-unless-urgent.com

An entry like was used as-is previously. So when I typed "johnd"+TAB it used to
give me the 3 addresses listed as such. I would do a DOWN arrow to select the
most-often used email address (the one for official use) and be on my way.

Now, because of the domain name rule, the "do-not-use-unless-urgent.com" comes
up first in the list. :(

If all things were equal and we had to go for domain-name based ordering, let's
not do that for addresses listed in a single address book entry, showing them
in the order they've been added to the address book?
