automatically include email address when composing an email

I am using microsoft windows mail for comcast.net account i hope this
helps...again what i am trying to do is on my other computers, all i have to
do to email my wife for example is type in only jw and it automatically
enters jwilliams@... (just one or two of the first name) now i have to
manually type in the whole email address... however if i have just emailed
her it does come up but if i have not another name such as jw may come
up joe wilson..just the last 2 people i have emailed...i went under
tools/options and checked the box that says automatically include email
address when composing thanks so much

On Vista it only auto completes once you have sent to a particular contact.
Better if you ask me?

I have tried that and found that it still didn't work properly. At times it
would complete and then the next time it wouldn't. Go figure.

WinMail only autocompletes for the last 25 addresses you sent to.
