The "Expand names in the compose window automatically in the background?"
feature does not look at user Aliases. Thus, if I have an Alias for a user
that is not also a substring of their name, typing in the Alias will result
in an error stating 'The field 'to' can't be expanded'. For example:

Turba contains a user named John Smith. John Smith has an Alias of "Dad" and
an email address john at smith.com. If I type "John" into the To: field, this
is automatically expanded with "John Smith <john at smith.com>". If I type
"Dad", however, I get an error stating that 'The field 'To' can't be
expanded."

It would be great if this feature could also search the Alias fields.
