145936 - Add to address book doesn't work

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

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

Description

Moz RC2: 2002051006
Win2K sp2

In the mail window, right click on the FROM field and choose "add to address book"
When the New Card dialog box pops up, the "Add to" field is left blank.
Clicking OK - of course - does nothing and it take a while to realise why.

How about making the list box default to the first address book in the drop list
(not collected addresses) - or atleast prompt the user that he has to choose the
"add to" parameter. I honestly missed that and spent ages wondering what is
happening.

I was not able to reproduce this bug on build 2002051406 on Win32 (Win 2000).
The Personal Address Book is always selected in the New Card dialog. My address
book files were created with this build.

Steps:
0) Exit Mozilla.
1) Move history.mab and abook.mab files (from profile folder) to Trash.
2) Launch Mozilla, then Mail & Newsgroups component.
3) Select a typical mail message
4) Right click on email address in the From: field of the message header
   then choose Add to Address Book...

Expected and Actual Results:
The New Card dialog appears. The Personal Address Book is selected in the Add To
pop-up menu.

I've tried the steps outlined above on RC2: 2002051006 and still get the same
problem.

Either something has been changed from 2002051006 to 2002051406 or I've messed
up my pref.js file or ????

Commercial Branch and Trunk build 2002-05-22: WinMe
This also appears to be working for me. 

What happens if you try a more recent build, or in a new profile?

Resolving as we never had reply from reporter.  Reporter, if you still have this
issue in a current build, please reopen bug and comment with details.
