If the user does not wait for the autocompletion after typing the name of an address list, an invalid recipient is added. That recipient, however, will not get the usual red highlight.

STR:
0. Make sure there is an address list named "foo" in one of your address books (or any other short name)
1. Open the compose window, and very quickly type "foo" and press tab (or do any other interaction that prevents autocompletion).

Expected:
The address list is added as recipient and the mail can now get sent.

Actual:
A "foo" recipient is added (instead of the correct "foo <foo>" recipient); sending the mail fails with the error
> foo <> is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail

The "foo" recipient is not marked as red (like regular invalid recipients). The recipient will get red if the name is changed to a truly invalid name, though, and become gray again if it is changed to the name of any address list.

STR: [updated from the original report to reproduce in TB 102]
1. Make sure there is an address list named "foo" in one of your address books (or any other short name)
2. Open the compose window, and type "foo;bar@example.com"
3. Press Tab or otherwise move the focus away from the "To" field


Expected:
The address list is added as recipient alongside bar@example.com and the mail can now get sent.

Actual:
A "foo" recipient is added (instead of the correct "foo <foo>" recipient), in addition bar@example.com; sending the mail fails with the error
> foo <> is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail

The "foo" recipient is not marked as red (like regular invalid recipients). The recipient will get red if the name is changed to a truly invalid name, though, and become gray again if it is changed to the name of any address list.
