[Vseerror <956618@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is important to be nit-picky when one is in the role of deciding what
to take on ESR, lest we get excessivly loosey goosey with our standards
- which are looser than Firefox's, and thus have grey areas which
necessitate judgement calls ultimately made by one person.

But I support the request for ESR uplift for one reason only, if comment
97 paragraph 2 is correct and the current net effect behavior to the
user is it *appears* to be a regression - that's all that matters.  So
if patch has no known, and little to no likelihood of having, side
effects, then I think we should take it. (Also, we have taken patches on
ESR that do not fix recent regressions.)

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.
