Title:
Nickname not over-riding names in email address
Status in Mozilla Thunderbird:
Fix Released
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
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<[email protected]>. The other is
James<[email protected]>. Both are in my address book with Mark
entered as the nickname of [email protected] and James as nickname for
[email protected].
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 [email protected]
Reason it is needed:
I am trying to avoid sending emails meant for [email protected] to James.mark
because I do not notice in time that I have defaulted to the first entry in the
list of available addresses.
