It's possible for the domain you type for a receipient to be overwritten with
the default domain (i.e. user.com, if you are joe@user.com).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a message compose window
2. Type just the user part of an email address that's not in your address book
and is not at the same domain as your email address.
3. Wait for thunderbird to autocomplete the domain.
4. Type "@someotherdomain.com", overwritten the domain that was autocompleted
5. Hit tab

Result:

The domain in the recipient field has reverted back to the default domain!
requesting blocking1.0, this seems pretty bad, could result in sending mail to
the wrong person without even realizing it

i don't understand your description brian. That sounds like the correct
behavior. We always append the default domain if you don't provide one.

Can you post a screen shot maybe?
I think you're missing step #4.  Thunderbird has provided the autocompletion for
the domain, but I typed over it with a different domain.  Then when I hit tab,
it reverts to what it had autocompleted instead of what I typed.

Note, to reproduce this it seems to be necessary to hit tab immediately after
you finish typing the domain (my guess is, before the autocomplete timer would
fire).  If you wait a second or so after typing the domain, then hit tab, it
stays.  It seems like the autocomplete is firing even though focus is no longer
in the recipient field.

as soon as you type an @ sign we kill autocomplete and won't attempt to append a
default domain or auto complete that row.

I can't reproduce this on windows because of that fact. Once the @ sign is typed
the line is dead and it doesn't matter how fast I tab out of the autocomplete
row....
You have to have let it autocomplete once while entering the address, _then_
finish it and quickly tab out.

Btw, I'm seeing this on windows nightly 20041021.

this was a regression from my attempt to fix Bug #244522.

I just checked in a better fix for 244522 which doesn't cause this regression. 

Marking this as fixed now.
