JF: sending this to you.  Looks like a compose window problem.  But if it turns
out to be an issue with the select address dialog please pass it back.

Esther,

I am thinking that this bug is different as bug#17931, 17931 is regarding to
"cannot send message if the address are over than 2"
But this bug is regarding to the address panel NOT reflect Cc: & Bcc: AFTER
selected addresses for Cc: & Bcc: from "Select Addresses Window"of Address Book.
Isn't it?

OK, this bug is related so maybe it should be a depends on each other but I will
remove the duplicate and let development decide that.

It's a problem with the select element. if the select element has been created dynamically, the title of it does show
the current selection. But if you click on the select element, you can see that the selection is correct.

That appends also when the user change manually the recipient type (to, cc, bcc...) during message composition.

WARNING: that doesn't append with the first row in the addressing widget as it's not created dynamically.

unverified for now and wait until 19373 is fixed and we can verify this case.

Using m12 builds 1999121409 on win98, 1999121411 on linux and 1999121408 on mac
this is fixed.  All (3) addresses I put in the Select Address bucket were
displayed in the new compose window addressing area.  Verified this scenario for
duplicate bug 19373 bug fix.
