User story for Undo delete Address Book Contact: A user deletes a
contact, by accident or on purpose, with or without explicit
notification, and does an undo for this action upon which the delete is
reverted and the contact is available in the address book again.

Please implement this and possible other cases before this bug starts to
go into puberty. ;)

Title:
  No undo for deleting a contact from address book

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Confirmed
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  Right-clicking on the column names in the address book includes a
  "Delete" option in the menu.  Unfortunately, this does not "delete"
  the highlighted column, but rather, the highlighted contact.  Ouch.
  Making matters worse, there is no undo.

  Probably the simple fix would be to have right-click on the column
  headings in the address book display a different menu, or no menu at
  all.
