1. A method of contact address entry for messages composed on a computing device, the method comprising:
- detecting entry of a contact address in an address field in a message;
checking a data store for a stored contact address that matches the entered contact address; and
after determining that there is no stored contact address that matches the entered contact address,identifying at least one stored contact address in the data store where for each identified stored contact address, the entered contact address contains at least one of a misspelling or a transposing of characters of the identified stored contact address, anddisplaying the at least one identified stored contact address in a user interface.
