112970 - Add New Contact to Groups & Mailing Lists

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Address Book, enhancement)

Description

[Jason Boerner]

I would love to see the addition of two UI controls (drop boxes?) to the New
Card Dialog.
1) To assign a user to a mailing list (or multiple lists?)
2) To add the user to a group (or multiple groups?)  See 75711

This comes out of address book issues that I have when working with lots of
different people that I meet on newsgroups.  What generally happens is that I
will respond to a post or someone will answer my post with a "Me Too".  I would
like to be able to quickly add them to my address book (by right clicking on
there address in the header) and then assign them to a (possibly new) maillist
so that as I make headway on a topic I can contact them directly.

Hummm... Now that I think about it, it might also be nice to be able to delete
all contacts in a maillist/group when the list/group is deleted.

Jason, you should now be able to right-click on an address in the message pane
and see an "Add to Address Book" option. It appears that you want more control
so that you can also place the contact in a specific mailing list. Is this the case?

Your other idea of deleting all contacts in a mail list should be logged in a
separate bug.

You are correct.  I can right click on an address and add it to the address
book.  I would like the next screen which comes up to allow for two additional
fields.
1) Add the user to a new (or existing) mail list(s).
2) Add the user to a new (or existing) group(s) . (If implemented)

mass re-assign.

Moving to core, dropping obsolete "RFE" tag (enhancement severity is good enough) and added "Add" to make the title a bit more descriptive.
