Aceman, I think this shouldn't be too hard and will be very similar and in same code area as your sophisticated patch in Bug 984875, attachment 8428850. My comment 50 and comment 51 also provide a starting point how this could be done. Perhaps the combination of your insight and my starting points might enable you to come up with a draft patch here?

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.
