Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 143355

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

Lets say I have bunch of addresses collected and I want to organize them into
groups. If I create a new list the Mailing list editor pops up and says "Type
name s or drag addresses to the mailing list bellow." The drag&drop feature
works fine for single item. Nevertheless the list box containing addresses in
the Aaddress book allows multiple selection and the drag&drop doesn't work
correctly in this case. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Address book
2.Create several address in the Address book
3.Create new Mailing list
4.In the Address book select multiple addresses and drag them to the Mailing
list editor.
5.Close the Mailing list editor using the OK button.
6. Check contetnt of the mailing list in the Address book.

Actual Results:  Acording to my experiments it depends on the format of the
original e-mail address. If the format is a single name like "peter" (e.g. for
local addresses) and I select several of them and drag them to the Mailing list
editor the editor puts all of them as single item where addresses are seprated
by commas like "peter, john, paul" moreover it adds the same item to the global
list of all addresses in the address book (which just messes the list). If the
format of the address is like "Doug White <[e-mail]>" and I select
and drag more of them the  Mailing list editor doesn't complain but inserts only
the first item to the list. 

Expected Results:  In any case each selected item should be put as a separate
item to the mailing list.
