Description
Expected behavior
When answering a mail which is coming from (say) Max Mustermann, you very often start it with "Hi Max" or Hallo Max" or " Dear Mr Mustermann". It would be very helpful, if after typing the opening word (Hi, dear, hallo,...) the keyboard suggestions would contain the firstname and lastname of the sender.
Actual behavior
Currently the suggestion list only contains names that you have often used in the past.
Steps to reproduce
Just answer an email having been sent from a new contact of yours.
Environment
K-9 Mail version: newest
Android version: newest
Account type (IMAP, POP3, WebDAV/Exchange): any
