761797 - make the Preferences (options) menu item in Addressbook open the Composition panel and Addressing tab in the preferences dialog

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, enhancement)

Description

[:aceman]

Make the Preferences (options) menu item in Addressbook open the Composition panel and Addressing tab in the preferences dialog. Currently it opens any panel/tab the user had open previously.
The same approach is already used in Compose window, which opens the Composition panel (no specific tab).
Of course the user is then free to switch to any other panel/tab.

Bug 718139 will provide the infrastructure for this, in this bug I wire up this specific panel + tab.

The patch. And even some "command" conversion for mconley :) It looked like a good thing to do in this file.

This looks good, and works correctly.

I'mma snag this ui-r from bwinton while I'm at it. This change makes perfect sense from a UI perspective, so thanks for that. :)
