There already has been a screwup some time ago. People in the company where I work routinely used the technique of maintaining a list in Excel, then copy a column with names or e-mail adresses, and then pasting that into Seamonkey. Seamonkey would then lookup all the items in the addressbooks and expand them in the address area. So the column you pasted could be full names of persons, e-mail adresses, or only local part of e-mail (before the @) within the company, and the LDAP addressbook lookup would expand it into a nice form of Firstname Lastname <[email protected]> for every entry. This no longer works. It just pastes the data in the area and does nothing. When you put the cursor on a line and then type a space, it does what it did before. But that is very inconvenient when you pasted tens of lines, as you have to repeat that on every line. Pity that it is not fixed.
