Cool! Looks like it could be an elegant solution to problems mentioned
in my comment 88. Thanks, great teamwork!

Title:
Nickname not over-riding names in email address
Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
Confirmed
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.
