As Dark Knight rules the box office (no, I haven't seen it yet... yes, I want to), I'm reminded of the 1989 version, wherein Bruce Wayne discovered that Joker's poison was made up of several components; each by itself would be harmless, but combining them all would be lethal.
If you've been wondering how to enable the fancy new address typeahead in your own applications (without copying the SendTo field from the mail template every time), here's the recipe for that feature:

If you've been wondering how to enable the fancy new address typeahead in your own applications (without copying the SendTo field from the mail template every time), here's the recipe for that feature:
- Set the field type to "Names".
- Enable "Look up names as each character is entered".
- Finally (in reality, you'd probably do this second, but I saved it for last because I think it's silly and wanted to be climactic), the field style must be "Native OS"; if you use the standard Notes field style, it reverts to the old-school typeahead (as it does anyway in Notes 8 basic... the fancy version only works in Notes 8 standard).
