[Bugzilla2007 <956618@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Magnus, can you please set the appropriate flags to get this into a TB
release version as soon as possible, even for TB31 if possible?

I'm seeing more and more bug reports where users complain that nickname
searches no longer work (they never have, but they appeared to... but
now, depending on scenario / search words and data sets, users might see
more irrelevant results, also because of irrelevant matches from
collected addresses, resulting from our former mis-design (now fixed) to
use collected addresses for remote-content permissions).

We should really land all autocomplete fixes fast, to avoid getting more
unqualified complaints for things we have already fixed.

Title:
  Nickname not over-riding names in email address

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Fix Released
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  New

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<Mark@xxxxxxxx>. The other is
  James<James.Mark@xxxxxxxx>. Both are in my address book with Mark
  entered as the nickname of Mark@xxxxxxxx  and James as nickname for
  James.Mark@xxxxxxxx.

  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 mark@xxxxxxxx

  Reason it is needed:
  I am trying to avoid sending emails meant for mark@xxxxxxxx to James.mark because I do not notice in time that I have defaulted to the first entry in the list of available addresses.
