Details

Currently:
When the address is "collected" when a message is sent, just the name and the
address are collected.

Proposal:
If the address was found in the LDAP, I propose that all the information be
harvested such as Home/Work address, phone, etc... and placed in the address
book  card.
Right now, LDAP autocomplete searches only ask for the minimum attributes
required in order to fill in the message headers so that people working over
slow connections won't have a long wait.  So probably the way this would have to
work would be that at send time, another search would need to be done, asking
for all the addressbook attributes.

This contracts bug #126022 which is more logical solution to the problem:
"Collected addresses should not include/add entries already in LDAP"

I recommend we close this request and prefer the other approach: not duplicating entries that the user already has in other source.
