278992 - Thunderbird is too aggressive about completing an email address

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 131692

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Brian 'netdragon' Bober]

I entered ecse4750-subscribeXXXecse.rpi.edu in the TO field and the person who
made the list said to replace the XXX with @ but before I even get a chance,
Thunderbird adds @rpi.edu to the end. When I try to remove it, it keeps putting
it back. I had to replace the XXX with @ first in order to remove the @rpi.edu.
Normal replacement methods don't force the replacement on you.

I see this, and you're right -- once you've deleted the local-domain addition, 
it should not be added back simply because you've clicked elsewhere in the 
currently displayed string.  I would go so far as to say that, ideally, if 
you've explicitly removed the "@local.dom" via Del (or Bksp) that further 
completion with "@local.dom" should be turned off.

xref bug 93453, which is a more general bug about turning off the local-domain 
completion.

Was this fixed by bug 93453 ?

If not, could this be a duplicate of bug 131692 ?
