Thats the culprit - I use Emacs 23.1.1, and it seems that variable completion-at-point-functions has been added to Emacs just recently with version 23.2. So I have to update my Emacs - should I go for Emacs 24 right away, or is that to early? > Looks like the guts of completion happen in > org-contacts-complete-name.
