18694 - AutoComplete against Collected Addresses is not working for 8bit chars

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Internationalization, defect, P3)

Description

[marina]

The behaviour of the Aucomplete is inconstistent:the non-ascii name could be
found randomly but most of the cases it is not (if you explicitely type a
non-ascii chars it would not be found, it would autocomplete like "
má@netscape.com". When the non-ascii chars is on a first position (starting the
name) it is never recognized.
Steps to reproduce:
-eneter several new AB cards with non-ascii chars in it;
-send messages using those cards entries for them to get into Collected
Addresses;
-close and restart AB;
-open New message, type M+"Alt+0xxx" (the beginning of the non-ascii name) and
see the result
//non-ascii name is not found, instead it autocompletes like
M+"Alt+0xxx"@netscape.com

Let's not spend any more time than necessary on the temporary autocomplete code.
JF will be writing the real autocomplete code for B2.

Mass moving to M16 to get these off the M15 radar.  Please let me know if this
is really an M15 stopper.
