Steps to reproduce:
- Open a "New Message" window
- Click on the "From:" address bar
- Select "Customize From Address..."
- Follow through the prompts
- I can now type in ANY email address
Actual results:
I am able to change both the "John Doe" AND "@example.com" portions of the "From" email to anything I want. "For example, if your From address is John Doe <john@example.com> you may want to change it to John Doe <john+doe@example.com> or John <john@example.com>." This is wording directly from Thunderbird.
Expected results:
I should only be able to change the "John Doe" portion of the "From" email. "For example, if your From address is John Doe <john@example.com> you may want to change it to John Doe <john+doe@example.com> or John <john@example.com>." This is wording directly from Thunderbird.

Please see bug 1270282
Thank you, Wayne. I noticed that the bug you referenced was reported 4 years ago and is still open. Is this bug still in the process of being fixed?

I think it unlikely that bug 1270282 will fixed - given that so far no support has been expressed by developers that such a feature is desirable.
