Creating recipient pills in composition.

  • Aleca, Thunderbird UX <alex@example.com> --> Aleca, Thunderbird UX <alex@example.com> (success)
  • Aleca, Thunderbird UX <alexqexample.com> --> Aleca Thunderbird UX <alexqexample.com> (accidental email address misspell, fail, 2 pills created)

This can easily happen e.g. on German keyboard where @ is third level key requiring AltGr. Or maybe I don't have someone's email address at hand and just want to put a placeholder Aleca, Thunderbird UX <###>. I think user's intention of creating single pill is reasonably clear by structure: Display, name <foo> with angular brackets. Creating plaintext pill (Aleca) which is not a valid email address is pointless and pretty annoying as it requires several steps to fix that.

Not a regression, already happens in TB 68.

Summary: Adding recipient with comma in display name and accidental error or placeholder in email address [Johnson, CEO <johnsonqexample.com>] unhelpfully creates two pills → Adding recipient with comma in display name and mistake or placeholder in email address [Johnson, CEO <johnsonqexample.com>] unhelpfully creates two pills
