Bug Description

Jay Borkenhagen reports (viewmail-info, 2012-12-05):

One thing that isn't quite working as I used to have or as is
documented in the texinfo is the prompting. Per the texinfo:

  One thing to bear in mind is that when you are prompted, there will
  be auto-completion available -- you'll only need to type enough to
  uniquely identify a profile (you won't even need to hit TAB).

I find that I do need to hit tab now to get the auto-completion. If
my two profiles are "work" and "braeburn", I would like to be able to
type "w RET" and have vm-pcrisis behave as if I had entered the entire
"work RET". But now "w RET" leaves 'Action "w" does not exist!' in
the minibuffer.

The following NEWS item was added in revision 523:

    * VMPC: Better action reader and a default profile which is used if no
      email addresses could be found. The meaning of the arguments for
      `vmpc-prompt-for-profile' has been slightly simplified, see the doc
      string for details.
