The address gets collected from the mailing list, then at some much later time
shows up via autocomplete in a brand new composition totally unrelated to the
mailing list, because of a substring from the collected address.

It leaves it alone if I keep this autocompletion:
[email protected] <[email protected]>
or substitute
siln <[email protected]>
or similar, with or without use of quotes, but it overwrites with the original
autocomplete if I try to keep
[email protected]
Autocomplete, once it has happened in one particular address box, should make no
additional attempt once an address has been allowed to fill the field and the
popup list of possible addresses closes, unless the entire field has been
emptied (to start over). Likely this behavior needs to be filed as a bug. I
looked on BZ for something similar but found nothing. I'm not about to try
installing and using TB to see if it applies there, but hate to think about
adding more todo to our overloaded supply of SM devs with yet another SM
exclusive bug report.
