Title:
Nickname not over-riding names in email address
Status in Mozilla Thunderbird:
Fix Released
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
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.
