Now I can't send to a list!
Has something changed within the last few days? I have a mailing list
for a weekly club, and each week I send out a notice. I used to be able
to type the start of the name and it would send the email to the list.
Now it says that it is not a valid email address because it is not of
the form user@host, so it doesn't send it to the list. I couldn't
figure out any way to send to the list.

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. The other is
James. Both are in my address book with Mark
entered as the nickname of m...@.com and James as nickname for
james.m...@.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...@.com
Reason it is needed:
I am trying to avoid sending emails meant for m...@.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.
