160413 - Mailing List: editing the email address changes the Display name

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 152620

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

Description

[marina]

*** observed with 2002-07-31-08 build ***
Steps to reproduce:
- open your Address Book;
- select a Mailing List from the Address Book;
- in the addresses field change the email address of one of the entries (for ex.
edit  the email address for Peter Smith<[e-mail]> by changing it to
iqax5);
- now notice that the Display Name for the entry is changed from Peter Smith to
the Display Name that the iqax5 had in the Address Book (of course if you have
an entry with email address ....<[e-mail]>).
Expected: allow to change the email address without altering the Display Name.
In fact the Address Book allows you to have several Display Names with the same
email address.
