 option
Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2022 15:47:14 +1300

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I tried out ecomplete for email address completion today(*),
and I found it slightly annoying that when there was only a
single match for the text, I still have to firstly type M-n
to access the completion 'list', and then RET to select the
only available option.

Would the attached patch be a reasonable enhancement?
