(Whiteboard: Previous undo bug contained within Bug 94407)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 0.6 (20040502)

The list of contacts in the main address book window behaves a bit differently
from the message list in the main Thunderbird window.

A - pressing "enter" after highlighting a contact does not open the detail
window for editing. You have to double click to do this.

B - you cannot undo a delete of a contact - neither ^Z nor Edit->Undo work

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
A - opening a contact for edit
1. Open the address book window
2. Highlight a contact with the mouse
3. Press enter

B - undoing a delete
1. Open the address book window
2. Highlight a contact 
3. Press del
4. Press ^Z or use Edit->Undo

Actual Results:  
A.
The contact detail screen does not come up

B.
The deletion is not undone. The "Undo" choice in the Edit menu is disabled.

Expected Results:  
A.
Opens the detail screen, same as a double click

B.
Undeletes the contact
David - if you could file seperate bugs for seperate issues in future that would
be most helpful.

The first part works fine for me using Tb 1.0.
