1115372 - Sending email to wrong addresses

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1107844

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Bill]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0
Build ID: 20141126041045

Steps to reproduce:

While forwarding email in BCC, I select the personal email address of a recipient that has a business email address in contacts.  Both addresses pop up but I carefully select the PERSONAL address.  TB will automatically select the business email address when forwarding mail or writing a new email.  I was very careful and deliberate when selecting the correct email address of a recipient.  


Actual results:

TB is selecting the recipients business email account as default even though I carefully selected the personal email account. 

This has occurred since the last update of 31.3.0 in December of 2014.  


Expected results:

Forwarded email should have gone to the individuals personal email account.

Instead it went to the recipients business account and he was flagged for receiving email that was not of a business nature.

I am helping this bug confirmation as volunteer, and can not reproduce the issue below configuration.

<System>
Windows 8.1 x64, HP EliteBook Revolve 810
Thunder Bird 31.3.0 for Windows (English US)

<Setup>
1. Create a contact in TB Address book; Name Charlie Brown, Office address [e-mail], Personal address [e-mail].
2. Send an email to myself to get one before testing.
3. Forward that email message to Charlie by his personal email; [e-mail] in BCC field instead of To.
4. Verify the inbox in both [e-mail] and nicxxx#naver.com.

Expect: find the message in only [e-mail]

Actual: Verified the message delivered to [e-mail]
Verified the contents in the message below.
