Yanlu, thanks for reporting back with user feedback which is generally welcome.
However, the autocomplete problems you mention are not related to this bug, so 
let's avoid them here. Moreover, let's avoid unspecified general statements 
like "Seems fixed" which might easily be misunderstood to mean this bug here is 
fixed, which is NOT the case.
But yes, we're in the process of fixing things in recipient autocomplete; some 
fixes have already been released, and more pending, e.g. Bug 970456.

Title:
  Nickname not over-riding names in email address

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Confirmed
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  From what I have read in the support forum the nickname should take
  priority in the search for an email address in the to: field. It does
  not appear to work any more.

  Example:

  One friend's address is Mark<m...@yyyy.com>. The other is
  James<james.m...@xxxx.com>. Both are in my address book with Mark
  entered as the nickname of m...@yyyy.com  and James as nickname for
  james.m...@xxxx.com.

  If I type james in the To: field I get james.mark as a first entry in
  the list of available addresses.

  If I type mark I get the same address again, when I would prefer the
  first optional address to be m...@yyyy.com

  Reason it is needed:
  I am trying to avoid sending emails meant for m...@yyyy.com to James.mark 
because I do not notice in time that I have defaulted to the first entry in the 
list of available addresses.
