Default semi-colon

i have found it helpful to put a semi-colon after each name in the "to" line because occasionally the auto-fill will add to what i had written.

examples:

i want to send something to "bear" - if i was not paing attention, the message might have gone to "bears"

"susie" might end up going to "susiesunshine"

i have started to tack on the semi- colon even if i am sending a pm to just one person.

a couple of times my pm ended up not where i intended.

semi colon or colon? probably doesn't matter. on another forum I hit reply and it came to me!!! not sure why to this day. things are messed up here on various problems. doesn't seem easy to fix either.

I found that just hitting the space bar will stop that auto-fill. It will only complete the word with what "they" thought it should be if I hit "tab".
