9 - Cannot send mail if in guild with similar nick or alt with longer name
I have an alt named Rising that I send all my stuff to for the AH. I play on a character named Risingashes.
The autocomplete feature turns an R when I'm playing on Risingashes in to Risingashes. Would it be possible for the autocomplete to do a check against 'playername' to make sure it isn't autocompleting on itself?
The defect however is that I cannot stop this from happening. Once the autocomplete is done I cannot delete the autocompletion- meaning I cannot send mail to my Rising alt aslong as I'm on my account or in a guild with someone with my nick but longer. This will likely effect a lot of couples who find it hillarious to name their names identical except for 'ie' added to the girls character etc etc.

Lua language in WAR is very limited, it lack a lot of useful functions. Because of that, the autocompletion is not a 'real' autocompletion and it doesn't 'write' rest of the letters in the edit box. It can only display them for you.
As is states in the zMailMod description on curse.com and curseforge.com in the Note about autocompletion, in your case you have to write Rising and press Enter. It will remove the rest of the autocompleted word and you'll be able to send your mails to Rising
I'm going to add this explanation to the game, because many people don't read description on websites and have same problem with autocompletion.
On the side note, I've checked how can I improve it to be more intuitive (using arrow keys, delete key etc), but unfortunately there's no way to get the text cursor position. I could get it quite easily if people would use only keyboard, but it's not possible to get it if you'll click it with your mouse or click and select part of the name with your mouse.
I'm marking your ticked as invalid for now, please let me know if the autocompletion works for you as intended.
