[Bug 956618]

[Gilem]

Exact match was the change that happened to me at some point in the past
year.  I have a few short nicknames like 'jim'. In previous version,
typing quickly jim[tab] instantly prefilled from the nickname.  In the
newer versions, if there are any addresses in the book starting with
jim, the behavior is to put a red 'jim' in the to box, and not allow
sending at all.  I fail to see the point of the nickname if it is not
used, and one should not have to wait .5s for the autocomplete to
prefill to hit tab.
