376583 - 3 modes needed in Address Editing!

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 392932

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, enhancement)

Description

[durumdara]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; hu; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.0pre (20070403)

Now TDB I can edit or paste email addresses in two mode:
- use first editbox, write an address, use enter, and paste/write new
- use first editbox, write/paste all addresses to in it

It is very good in some cases, but hateable in others.

The third mode needed I think. In this mode all of the addresses are merged by type (cc, bcc, and so on), and one editbox used to edit for every type of mail addresses.

Example - normal way:
to: [e-mail]
to: [e-mail]
cc: [e-mail]
bcc: [e-mail]
bcc: [e-mail]

Showed as:
to: [e-mail], [e-mail]
cc: [e-mail]
bcc: [e-mail], [e-mail]

First good thing: 
This mode I simply change my types with copy-paste. 
If I use addr. groups, and I wrote an email the use 100 men with "to", but later I need to change them to "bcc", I need to change every of them one-by-one.
But in this mode I can copypaste them, as in Google Mail.

Second good thing:
This mode is makes easy to implement a trick I call "Extract address groups I used in mail".
Many times I got mails what I want to forward, but the sender is a member in my dest. group.
So: I need to decide what I do. 1.) Send it simply. In this way the sender is got his/her mail back. 2.) I copypaste all of the group members except this one.
3.) I Send Later the mail, open it, and remove this member.

But in this editing mode I can use (recursive) extraction (because of group in group), and tdb is sorted the addresses to editboxes in way that aviod multiple addresses.

Third good thing:
I can simply rejoin my addresses after the tdb splitted (separated) them.
Example: I need to send many mails with Gmail Web, but my addresses are in a group. I open a new mail, paste and extract the group, and simply recopy it to gmail.
