[MlMt] Address matching is too fast

You don’t mention which version of MailMate you’re using, but in 
5960, and pretty much as far back as I can remember, address 
auto-completion will wait forever for me to take action. The only way 
for me to complete an address is to hit TAB or ENTER. Otherwise it just 
sits there with the dropdown displayed.

Is your keyboard sending erroneous TAB or ENTER keystrokes? A few 
possibilities come to mind:

Have you have enabled some extra keyboard input utility or feature that 
is interfering with the normal interface in MailMate?

Have you accidentally changed your keyboard layout to a different 
language?

Have you tried cleaning your keyboard?

One quick fix to try right away is [resetting the 
PRAM](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204063) on your Mac.
