116006 - should be able to designate primary auto-complete addr

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, enhancement)

Description

[Judson Valeski]

This may actually be a mail compose FE bug, but, there's some abook backend work
that would have to be done anyway.

problem:
I run into the case where auto-collect sucks in many addrs that look alike
([e-mail], [e-mail], [e-mail]).

I should be able to designate which one I want to be the primary auto-complete
addr, otherwise, I'm constantly having to manually select which addr I actually
want. I suppose the definition of "primary" here is based on the auto-complete
search algorithm. I'm asking for sort based primary designation, not, addr book
card entry based primary designation.

There are several bugs filed requesting enhancements to the auto-collection and
auto-completion of abook entries. Perhaps the design semantics should be
re-visited.?

this is a good idea.  I've filed some of these bugs myself.  I think we'll need
to revisit some of these next time.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
