Ah, you could be right. His message was so unclear and so lacking in
detail that I had to infer what he was after. I think your inference is
more accurate.

I agree. That's one behaviour that I don't like. IMHO, it's not correct
behaviour, though it may not violate any standard.

No, typing nicknames also exhibits poor behaviour, at least in SM 1.4.2.
If I have an address book entry of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with name of "John
Smith" and nickname of "stinky", when I type "stinky" in the To field, it
expands to " stinky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ". It should, IMHO, substitute the
assigned name, but instead it uses the nickname and that is what the
recipient sees.

In other mail software, nicknames are just internal shortcuts for the
user, and the full recipient name replaces the nickname. I dislike how SM
works in this regard, as the nickname becomes more important than the real
assigned name.
