Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 175060

I send a fair amount of e-mail to multiple recipients but I prefer to put only
the primary person in the To: and all other recipients in the Cc: category.  I
can use the keyboard to type in full e-mails(or use auto-complete) and then hit
the return key to move to the next row.  To get the To: to change to Cc: though,
I have to use the mouse to do it.  I'd like to be able to change the To: to Cc:
without having to use the mouse.  Then I could complete e-mails using only the
keyboard since I can tab to the subject and body and also send using ctrl-return.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open a compose window
2.  Enter an e-mail and hit return to move to the second e-mail
3.  Try to switch the To: to Cc: without using the mouse

Actual Results:  
There isn't a way to switch it from To: to Cc:.

Expected Results:  
I should have the option of using the keyboard to switch it from To: to Cc:
either by using ctrl-something or by being able to type some escape key or text
like "cc:" before the 2nd e-mail address and have the "cc:" piece be ignored for
auto-complete.  This wouldn't change the actual screen image of the To: but upon
sending, the "cc:" before the 2nd e-mail would make that row be sent via Cc:.

Your build is really too old to report bugs against. Sounds like bug 95844, but
that was fixed long ago. The approach per today may be somewhat clunky though:
I have to first shift+tab, then arrow down, and then key a C or B etc., and
finally "enter" to activate the selection.

Resolving as dup of bug 175060.
