An odd one, that I really should have noticed ages ago:

Oasis seems to load all the yellow pages files in one go, 
and search them in order for the 'nickname' that you type 
in.

As I have another 'post box' that I hardly ever use, this is
great - it allows me to post mail to anyone that 'sareid' knows
about from the other post box. The problem is that someone I know
just changed job, I updated his address in 'sareid', but forgot
that I also had his address in the other one (alphabetically before
'sareid'). I've been sending mail to the wrong address for a 
week now!

Note: I'm not complaining; this is a good 'feature' (OK - 'bug',
if the Oasis manual is correct), as long as people know about
it!


And I thought I'd found all the Oasis bugs back in November when 
my list got to 2k!
