When composing a new mail message, the To and Cc fields "guess" possible
addresses based on the partial name you enter. This behavior seems a bit
poorly documented and hard to control.

The guesses apparently start with the Address book, but clearly don't end
there. They frequently contain addresses that don't show up anywhere in
the address book or contacts list. All that seems to be necessary is that
they have been used at some time in the past.

At a guess, there's a rather large cache of previously used addresses
hidden away somewhere.

The problem is, that cache seems prone to being corrupted with mistakes,
and I don't see any way to remove them. This makes it far too easy to
repeat them. There are some addresses I don't ever want to have offered to
me.

Is there any way to clear that cache, or at least clear certain entries
from it? And what's it really called, anyway?
