Addresses without names are collected when a person clicks on a mailto: link, and there may be other occasions. Typically, there are a number of duplicate addresses in the file, some with names and some without. Duplicate entries can also occur because the same address is entered one time with lowercase chars and with uppercase chars, or mixed-case. If the spec for email addresses is case-insensitive, why not add a bit of code to make email addresses lowercase in the address book, or ignore the case in comparing a possibly new address to existing ones? Also, sometimes names are entered in quotes, and if the same name is entered without quotes, it appears as a new entry. Would it be possible to ignore quote marks in comparing names to enter in the address book? Quotes are also a nuisance in autocompletion of address during composition. Entries with the same email address but different names should be left intact, IMHO. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
